Likely because the FDR readout showed the engines at the appropriate takeoff thrust, then the switches move, takeoff thrust goes away. Switches move back to RUN and the quick restart begins.

Undoubtedly from someone not authorized to comment, but the WSJ just issued a breaking news piece. As it is behind a paywall, here’s the pertinent excerpt,
New details in the probe of last month’s
Air India crash
are shifting the focus to the senior pilot in the cockpit.
A black-box recording of dialogue between the flight’s two pilots indicates it was the captain who turned off switches that controlled fuel flowing to the plane’s two engines, according to people familiar with U.S. officials’ early assessment of evidence uncovered in the crash investigation.
The first officer who was flying the Boeing 787 Dreamliner asked the more-experienced captain why he moved the switches to the “cutoff” position after it climbed off the runway, these people said. The first officer expressed surprise and then panicked, these people said, while the captain seemed to remain calm.

The WSJ phrase
according to people familiar with U.S. officials’ early assessment of evidence uncovered in the crash investigation
... is not necessarily the same as sources close to the investigation, speaking in condition of anonymity
Later in the article is another phrase according to people familiar with the matter, U.S. pilots and safety experts tracking the probe.
That also isn't necessarily people actually within in the investigation. Both phrases, especially the latter, can sound like descriptions of people expressing opinions after they read the report, like all the explanatory videos, or like some of the chat here. Tracking the probe isn't the same as taking part in it.

That's what I wondered.
AI171 took off in a broadly South Westerly direction and came down about 500m from the Civil Hospital (Red Marker in the image below)
I really don't see any good options. And the river is still 2km distant (and in any case at right angles to the direction of flight).
