DGCA is rather unreliable and selective in putting up reports in their website unlike NTSB or AAIB. I remember taking a Mumbai Kochi flight in 2011 and seeing one aircraft off the runway at Mumbai (TK) and another one off the runway at COK (GF). Both the incidents took place within 5 days of each other. GF report was available on the DGCA website as soon as the investigation was complete , but not the TK one (are they still investigating this?). And the GF incident is filed under accidents although there was no loss of life involved and only 7 minor injuries are listed.

You can also wait for the "civil aviation accident summary" for 2010 and hopefully the incident you talk about may get included. Again when they are going to put up 2010 is anybody's guess . 2009 was uploaded quite a while back and keep in mind these summaries are not comprehensive. The Air Deccan almost brand new ATR 72 which had a heavy landing (the aircraft was so badly damaged it was sold for scrap) is not listed in the 2006 report available on the website (the summary includes a table which state that DN did not have an accident!) while the 9W ATR heavy landing the next year was listed.


Your best bet is to try your luck in DGCA itself. What you are looking for will be there investigated and filed somewhere.
