Relatives of Leicester businessman Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, said he remains “deeply traumatised” by the crash, which killed 260 people, and is currently receiving counselling in India.
“I think he will stay over there because he is too frightened to get on a plane again,” his brother-in-law told the Daily Mail UK.
Ramesh, who escaped from seat 11A with cuts to his face and chest injuries, lost his brother Ajay, 35, in the tragedy.
His wife, Hiral, and their four-year-old son flew to India to support him but have since returned to the UK.
“He is still undergoing treatment,” Hiral said.
Families of other British victims have accused Indian authorities and the Foreign Office of “a severe lack of communication” after some victims’ remains were mixed up or lost.
In a letter to Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, they wrote: “Silence and a severe lack of communication force us to bring this to your attention. We feel abandoned.”
