Bribe Claim After Air India Crash: MHA Clarifies Immigration Fee Was Legal Visa Fine
A heartbroken relative of Manish Kamdar, a victim of the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, claimed a bribe of £1000 (approx. ₹1 lakh) was paid to an immigration officer so that his UK-born grandson, holding a British passport, could board the flight. Tragically, the boy died in the crash along with his grandmother and great-grandmother. The allegation sparked outrage—until the Ministry of Home Affairs issued a clarification. MHA sources stated that due procedure was followed in issuing the exit permit for the minor. The boy had overstayed in India for 1 year, 2 months, and 2 days, triggering visa fees and fines. The total legal charge amounted to ₹91,140, including a $484 visa fee and ₹50,000 overstay penalty. The MHA stressed that no bribe was demanded and the payment was a legal requirement under Indian immigration rules.
