Ahmedabad: The family of Dr Pratik Joshi, who hailed from Banswada, was returning to London with his wife, who was also a doctor. His wife had resigned from the job to start a new life in London. And so the London-bound flight for Dr Pradeep was special. His family was with him and they were going to settle in London.
His five-year-old twin sons Pradyut and Nakul and daughter Mariya were with him when he boarded the flight from Ahmedabad. Pradeep's children were seen smiling as they were with their parents took a selfie before the flight took off for London from Ahmadabad airport on Wednesday afternoon.
