Families of Air India AI-171 crash victims demand release of black box data and cockpit voice recorder transcript.
AAIB told the Supreme Court it will not disclose black box data during the ongoing investigation, with a final report expected in October.
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed on June 12, 2025, after takeoff from Ahmedabad, killing 241 on board and 19 on the ground.
Romin Vahora, who lost family members, questioned whether selective disclosure of CVR transcript aimed to shift blame to pilots.
Families seek direct access to raw black box data or for it to be shared with their legal representatives.
