Two days after the British national Ramesh Chand patel lost his life in the tragic crash of the Ahmedabad aircraft, his family arrived in India on Friday to take his body home and give up his final respect. Patel came to India for only nine days and was a regular visitor to Gujarat.
When he talked to or, he remembered the reason for his short visit, his daughter, Priti Pandy, said: “I came here last Tuesday – that is 4 June – only for 9 days. He just wants to come to eat the fruit of Jambury.
“He comes to India every year. She loves India. He has a gujarat house. He and my mother open a house and come here for 6 weeks. Have a Tiffin service and enjoy there. This time it just came to enjoy fruit,” she added.
Pandya asked about her last conversation with her father and said, “No. This is the first way I talked to him 3-4 times a week. But when the video called me on Tuesday, I worked and thought I would call him, but I was never able to do because I just got work.”
“He wanted to come. He loved this country. He died here, it was supposed to be,” he added.
On £1 Crore compensation using AI:
Reaction to £1 Crore compensation offered by Air India, Pandy said: “Compensation will not bring it back. The money will not replace life. Even yesterday, when we tried to get a reservation to come here, Air India was the possibility, and I said we would not come to Air India.
Meanwhile, the sister -in -law’s Ramesh Patel also shared his last moments of contact with him.
“Thursday morning rang me and then said everything was all right. I also sent him a message on both of my phones and said,” I hope everything is all right. All your things are fine and safe, “he said he would ring everything.
“The day before, because I know he’s coming, I called his favorite food. He was looking forward to eating fish and fries,” she added.
She remembered that she tried to discourage him from this short journey. “He told us I was going. I said, Dad, Dad, it’s too hot to go. Don’t go. Mum didn’t want him to go, and then asked Mom, I could go? I want to go.
As for the problem with compensation, her heart break was clear: “I give you money, give your father. That’s what I say. But no one will give the father.”
“Our children are alone. They said you are not afraid, go. Just bring Dad back.”
