Air India Crash Settlement Row: Allegations Of Pressure On Families Surface

Serious allegations have emerged against Air India ahead of the first anniversary of the Ahmedabad plane crash. According to India Today’s Amit Bhardwaj, Radhika Mishra, daughter of former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani, who died in the crash, has raised concerns over the compensation settlement process. She claims families of victims are being pressured to sign full and final settlement documents, seeking faster closure instead of waiting for the final investigation report. However, Air India has strongly denied any coercion, stating that its compensation process follows standard international airline practices and that families are free to choose between interim financial support and waiting for final outcomes. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau continues its probe into the crash, with questions remaining over final report timelines.
