Mohammad Shethwala, who lost his wife and two-year-old daughter in the 2025 Air India Flight 171 crash, has been ordered to leave the United Kingdom by April 22 or face deportation. Living in Britain on a dependent visa, Shethwala was placed on immigration bail after the UK Home Office rejected his request for Further Leave to Remain on compassionate and humanitarian grounds. The decision has sparked criticism, given his personal loss in the crash that killed 260 people. The case highlights tensions between immigration policy enforcement and humanitarian considerations in exceptional circumstances. (PC: X)
