Air India Crash Survivor Too Traumatized to Return UK

Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, the sole survivor of June's Air India crash that killed 260 people, remains deeply traumatized and is undergoing counseling in India, with his family believing he may never return to the UK due to his fear of flying. Ramesh escaped with chest injuries and facial cuts but lost his brother Ajay in the tragedy. His wife and young son traveled to India to support him but have since returned to Britain while he continues treatment. Families of other British victims have accused Indian authorities and the UK Foreign Office of poor communication and mishandling of victims' remains, with some remains reportedly mixed up or lost. These families have launched legal action to obtain Air India's maintenance and pilot records and have urged Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper to investigate the handling of victims' remains. A US law firm also suggests the crash may have been caused by electrical failure due to a water leak rather than pilot error.
