Air India has grounded two of its pilots after they apparently got into a fight just before takeoff Sunday night on a flight from Jaipur to New Delhi.

The extent of the altercation remained unclear Monday morning, but the confrontation was intense enough that the struggling Indian carrier moved to ground both the captain and co-pilot. Citing "numerous" unnamed sources, The Times of Indiareports "the co-pilot abused and beat up the commander."
