Air India crash victims' kin allege pressure over compensation claims

The families of Air India 171 crash victims have made serious allegations against the airline regarding compensation claims. A London-based law firm advising over 40 families claims Air India pressured them to disclose financial dependency to determine compensation amounts. The families allege they were coerced into signing forms under threat. Air India has denied these allegations, stating they are unsubstantiated. The airline claims to have already compensated 47 families, with 55 others in the process. The controversy raises questions about the handling of compensation in aviation disasters, with lawyers considering potential lawsuits in the US or UK for enhanced compensation.
