Heartbreak and Helplessness: Family Struggles After Ahmedabad Plane Crash

In an emotional interview, Javed’s uncle, aunt, and close friend Ghulam Rasool Patel shared their grief and frustration. Javed’s family is waiting for DNA results to identify the bodies, hoping to perform final rites with dignity. The most heart-wrenching part: Javed’s elderly mother, a heart patient, remains unaware of her son's death. The family fears that breaking the news might be fatal for her.

Rasool Patel, a family friend for over 50 years, raised serious concerns about Air India’s negligence and the authorities’ slow response. He questioned why a flight allegedly overdue for maintenance was allowed to fly and criticized the lack of clear communication from officials. He praised local volunteers and security staff for their support, but condemned media insensitivity and poor crisis management.

Bottomline by Bharka:
“This isn’t just about a crash—it’s about the gaping holes in our system that turn grief into agony.”
As one participant said, “If we don’t tell Javed’s mother, we’re guilty; if we do, we might lose her too.”
