Ahmedabad: Families of the victims of the Air India plane crash have started arriving at the Civil Hospital, which is just a few minutes from the accident spot in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The relatives of the foreign nationals, who were charred to death in the accident, were also arriving here to identify the bodies.
Javed Ali, who was a British citizen of Indian origin, and his family members were among those who died in the Ahmedabad plane crash. Javed had come to India along with his wife and two young children to see his ailing mother in Mumbai. After extending his wishes to his relatives and well-wishers in Mumbai, the Javed family was returning to London when fate knocked out the lives of all four of them. Javed's mother has been suffering from heart disease for some time.
A British citizen and hotelier, Javed Ali (37) had come to India on a visit with his wife Maryam (35), Mughal Zain (8) and daughter Amina (4). Javed did not know that this would be the last time his family would meet his mother.
