They were cut off very shortly after takeoff. AN INTENTIONAL ACT.

Agreed, however it appears there was an SB on that switch type.

In my earlier days, when I ran engines ( B737,B767,B777) those cut off switches are located on the pedestal, just below the throttles, one must pull up and back to off.
A deliberate movement, one engine then the next.

Oh my!

“A preliminary report into the Air India crash last month finds that both fuel control switches were moved to cut-off position - a step that usually turns off the engines - moments before the plane crashed

“Cockpit voice recording shows confusion between the two pilots. One is heard asking his colleague why he “did the cut-off” - and the other pilot said he did not do so, the report says.”
