Mohammad Shethwala, who lost his wife, Sadikabanu Tapeliwala, and two-year-old daughter, Fatima, in the Air India crash in Ahmedabad, India, is facing deportation from the UK. The UK government has ordered him to leave by April 22 after rejecting his application for Further Leave to Remain (FLR) on compassionate grounds. Shethwala moved to the UK in 2022 on a dependent visa while his wife studied at Ulster University. Following the tragedy, he returned to the UK in June but struggled with depression and sought psychiatric help. Friends have criticized the government's decision, advocating for a review of his case, emphasizing that he has lost everything and needs support rather than removal. Shethwala expressed that returning to India would be a constant reminder of his loss, and he has had to turn down a job offer due to his immigration status.
