LONDON, June 13: A British man who survived the Ahmedabad plane crash has told his family he is “fine” on a phone call, his cousin said, according to PA Media/dpa.
The Hindustan Times newspaper reported that Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, made it out alive and his cousin, Ajay Valgi, later told broadcaster BBC News: “He only said that he’s fine, nothing else.”
Ramesh was sitting next to his brother on the flight and has a wife and “little boy” at home, Valgi added.
Asked about reports that Ramesh was the sole survivor, the cousin said: “Yes, we heard that, but still can’t say anything unless we hear it from the proper people.”
He added: “At least the family is happy that he’s okay, but we’re still upset about the other brother.”
“We’re not doing well, are we? We’re all upset,” he said, adding that the family is waiting to find out what happened to Ramesh’s brother.
“I feel absolutely upset, he’s not just my cousin, he’s my brother, he’s my best friend as well.” – TVS
