An Air India passenger flight from Ahmedabad, Gujarat, to London suffered a tragic crash. A total of 242 people, including crew members, were on board, among them 12 citizens from Rajasthan.
Ahmedabad Air India Plane Crash: The devastating plane crash in Ahmedabad has not only shocked the nation but also shattered the lives of numerous families. Among the victims was Khushboo Rajpurohit, a resident of Arba village in Jodhpur district, Rajasthan. This was to be her first international flight, taking her to London to join her doctor husband. Fate, however, had other plans; this journey became her last.
Khushboo's Wedding Five Months Ago
Khushboo Rajpurohit had married a doctor working in London just five months prior. After their wedding, they decided Khushboo would complete her visa and passport formalities in India before joining her husband in London to begin their new life together. Her passport arrived last week, and once all the processes were completed, she decided to fly to London on an Air India flight.
The Emotional Scene of a Final Farewell
Before her journey, as Khushboo bid farewell to her family, everyone's eyes were filled with tears, but no one imagined it would be a final goodbye. A video of Khushboo weeping as she embraced her parents and siblings in her family's courtyard is now viral on social media, moving viewers to tears.
Flight AI-141, departing from Ahmedabad to London, crashed shortly after takeoff due to a technical malfunction. There were 242 passengers on board, 12 of whom were from Rajasthan. As news of the accident broke, the Rajpurohit family's hearts sank.
Initially, reports indicated the accident was minor and no one suffered serious injuries. Fueled by hope, Khushboo's brother-in-law, Shakti Singh Rajpurohit, and the family continuously tried to contact her. However, when Air India and the Gujarat administration confirmed Khushboo's name on the list of deceased, the family was overwhelmed with grief.
Relatives Arrive in Ahmedabad
Upon receiving news of Khushboo's death, her parents, siblings, and other relatives traveled to Ahmedabad. Airport authorities summoned the family to help identify the deceased. Meanwhile, a pall of grief hangs over Arba village. Wailing can be heard from every house, with people questioning what fault this beautiful, innocent girl had committed.
A similar atmosphere of mourning prevails in Khushboo's in-laws' village, Kharabera, in Jodhpur. People there are still struggling to accept the tragedy. Preparations for her trip abroad were complete, and the house was filled with excitement. Now, that same home is shrouded in sorrow.
