New Delhi: A newlywed bride from Rajasthan was among the victims who lost their lives in the Air India plane crash incident on Thursday. Khushboo was going to London to meet her husband, a UK-based doctor, onboard ill-fated Air India plane that crashed shortly after takeoff in Ahmedabad Thursday afternoon.
The 21-year-old from Rajasthan’s Balotra district got married to Vipul in January this year. Her husband went back London just two months after the wedding. She was also heading to London to meet him on Thursday, just two days after her passport was renewed. Khushboo reached Ahmedabad on Wednesday night with her father and cousin.
Her father, Madan Singh, who had come to the airport to drop her had taken a picture with her before departure and shared it on WhatsApp status with the message: “Ashirwad Khushboo beta, going to London.” Khushboo’s family got the tragic news of the crash when they were driving back. An emotional video has surfaced where her family members can be seen bidding her farewell.
