Su-30 uncommanded ejection?

Indian air force has grounded their Su-30's with some early reports suggesting uncommanded ejection while on approach.

Can anyone comment if this aircraft has an automatic ejection feature? I recall the Yak-38 Forger had such a system if certain bank angles were exceeed or engine loss was detected (and saved more than one life). Also does it have a command ejection feature, where if one seat goes (for whatever reason/intentional or not) the other goes

Thoughts? Hands in the wrong place?
