  "summary": "Two Air India pilots have tested positive for psychoactive substances in initial results from a mandatory screening exercise. The pilots have been removed from duty and their samples sent for confirmatory tests, according to Business Standard.\n\nAround 300 pilots have been tested so far, with two showing \"non-negative\" initial results, a person familiar with the matter told Live Mint. These results still require confirmation.\n\nThe screening exercise was stepped up following a recent incident, although details of that incident are not specified in the reports. The pilots are currently off duty pending further test results.",
