Family asks Bombay High Court to repatriate Dixit Solanki's body
India
After Indian seafarer Dixit Solanki was killed in a drone attack on his ship near Oman, the first Indian casualty in the West Asia conflict, his family is asking the Bombay High Court to step in and speed up bringing his body back.
They say they've faced long delays and little response from authorities and just want him returned home with dignity.
Petition seeks access to investigation records
The family's petition, set for hearing on April 6, urges several government agencies, including the Ministry of External Affairs and shipping authorities, to take action.
Nearly a month after Solanki's death, his family says they're still only getting vague updates from the ship's management and are also asking for access to investigation records so they can finally get some clarity.
