A family of five from Rajasthan, India, was among the victims of the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad. Dr. Pratik Joshi, a radiologist who had been living in London for six years, was finally bringing his wife, Dr. Komi Vyas, and their three young children to join him abroad. The family had been waiting for years for the necessary clearances, and their dream of starting a new life together was almost within reach.
*The Family's Story*
- *Dr. Pratik Joshi*: A radiologist who had been working in London for six years, building a life and career abroad.
- *Dr. Komi Vyas*: A pathologist who had resigned from her job at Pacific Hospital in Banswara, Rajasthan, to relocate to London with her family.
- *Their Children*: Eight-year-old Miraya and five-year-old twins Pradyut and Nakul, who were excited to start a new life in London with their parents.
In a heartbreaking twist, the family took a selfie on the plane just before takeoff, capturing their excitement and joy. The photo, now a poignant reminder of what could have been, shows the family smiling and happy, unaware of the tragedy that awaited them. The plane crashed shortly after takeoff, killing all 241 people on board, including the Joshi family.¹ ²
The incident has sent shockwaves across Rajasthan, with the local community and authorities mourning the loss of the young family. Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma called the crash "extremely sad and worrying," while former CM Ashok Gehlot described it as "heartbreaking"
