That is a sad image to see. Perhaps the resultant cross country ride resulted in the repositioning of some levers through mechanical linkage feedback, but the speed brake is in the down detent, which is not going to happen all by itself. The auto stow doesn't get it to the detent.
Indian conditions in the monsoon are interesting, and the runways are singularly compromised in heavy rain conditions. The lack of RESA/EMAS makes any off catastrophic.
