Family mourns Air India crash victim's tragic end

Ramesh Chand Patel, a British national, was among those killed in an Air India crash near Ahmedabad. He'd flown to Gujarat for a short trip just to enjoy his favorite Jambura fruit—a tradition that meant a lot to him. His daughter Priti Pandya shared her regret at missing their last call because of work.

TL;DR

Family has turned down Air India's compensation

Patel's family is now in India to bring him home and has turned down Air India's compensation, saying no amount can replace their loss. Priti remembered how much he looked forward to his yearly visits, while daughter-in-law Kajal recalled that their planned happy reunion over his favorite food never happened. Out of respect for Ramesh's memory, the family also chose not to fly with Air India on their return.
