AI-171 Crash Row: Vijay Rupani's Daughter Questions Compensation Process

Nearly a year after the AI-171 tragedy, fresh questions have emerged over compensation and accountability. Radhika Mishra, daughter of former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani, has written to Tata Sons Chairman N. Chandrasekaran, questioning why families are being asked to consider final settlements before the crash investigation is complete. She says affected families deserve transparency, answers and closure—not just compensation. Air India has strongly denied any pressure on families, stating there is no deadline to accept compensation and that claimants can wait for the official investigation report. As the first anniversary of the disaster approaches, many families say their primary demand remains unchanged: the truth behind what caused AI-171 to crash.
