A few months ago, an Air India flight crashed in Mangalore, killing more than 150. The cause of the crash was later determined to be the pilot ignoring the co-pilot's warning to come around for a landing as they didn't have enough of the short runway left to make a landing. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/City/Mangalore/Mangalore-crash-Captain-ignored-co-pilots-plea-to-abort-landing/articleshow/5992615.cms.

Removing the co-pilot will only increase the probability of similar accidents.

Indian Satellite Lost in Launch Explosion 208

The satellite, designed to enhance India's telephone and communications network, was lost when the rocket carrying it veered off course and exploded. This is the second disappointment in recent launch attempts, coming just one day after the failed long-range ballistic missile test launch."
