The family of Ramesh Kumar, the 45-year-old cab driver who tragically died after a canopy collapsed at Delhi airport amid heavy rainfall, is set to deliberate on filing a legal case following his cremation.

The incident, which occurred early Friday morning, resulted in Kumar's death and the injury of six others, leading to the suspension of flight departures. Kumar's 25-year-old son, Ravinder, revealed they had received the body postmortem and would perform the last rites on Saturday.

Ravinder, also a cab driver, was deeply upset over the government's compensation of Rs 20 lakh announced by Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu, as the family had recently invested in the cab. The family, residing in a rented house in Rohini, is yet to decide on taking legal action.
