00:00Flight Lieutenant Shubham Kumar, who lost his life in an Air Force aircraft crash in Assam during an operational mission,
00:06was laid to rest with full military honours.
00:09Days later, his family alleged they were never informed that a Rs. 21 lakh compensation check had been handed over
00:17to Shreya Rai, whom they describe as his alleged wife.
00:21The family says they knew about the couple's relationship and had even agreed to their marriage, but claimed they had
00:26no knowledge of any legal or court marriage.
00:29Shubham's father has questioned the lack of transparency in the compensation process, saying that if a legal marriage existed, she
00:36would have the right to the benefits, but the family deserved to be informed.
00:40As officials have yet to clarify the basis for releasing the compensation, the case has evolved from a tragedy into
00:46an emotional dispute over legal rights, communication and support for the family of a fallen officer.
