- Ramesh accepted a provisional £21,500 payment from Air India, which his advisers call insufficient for immediate needs and economic losses after his family business failed.
- Family representatives say three requests to meet company leaders were ignored or declined, while Air India says executives have been visiting families and that it offered to arrange a meeting before the interviews.
- The June 12 crash in Ahmedabad killed 241 of the 242 people on board and 19 people on the ground, with Ramesh escaping from a front-left seat through a gap in the fuselage.
