Two young girls have been orphaned after losing their father in the Air India plane crash on July 12, two weeks after their mother died from cancer.
As per heartbreaking reports, 37-year-old British national Arjun Patoliya was among the 270 people who lost their lives during last weekās aviation disaster, the worst in India for over three decades. An investigation into what exactly happened with the aircraft ā which crashed less than a minute after taking off ā is ongoing, with the plane having experienced difficulties from the second it left the runway.
Arjun had been visitingĀ the countryĀ to fulfill the last wishes of his late wife Bhartiās in scattering her ashes in her hometown of Gujarat. Bharti, itās said, died two weeks ago after a ācourageousā battle with cancer.
Arjunās passing now leaves he and Bhartiās two young daughters, aged just four and eight, orphaned.
With very little in the way of concrete answers thus far, the grieving families of those who lost their lives in the crash are still reeling in shock. Among them is the family of Arjun and Bharti, who have now suffered two tragedies in less than 20 days.
In the wake of Arjun and Bhartiās deaths, aĀ GoFundMeĀ page has been set up to help raiseĀ moneyĀ to go towards their childrenās futures.
