Pimpri Chinchwad bids emotional adieu to Irfan Shaikh who died in Ahmedabad plane crash
THE FUNERAL of 22-year-old Irfan Shaikh, the cabin crew member who died in the Ahmedabad plane crash on June 12 was held in Nehrunagar area of Pimpri Chinchwad on Saturday morning. A large number of residents had turned up for the funeral. There were moist eyes, glum faces and each one seemed to feel proud of the young man whose life was cut short by the plane crash. Since most of the bodies were charred beyond recognition, the medical officials had to match Irfan's DNA samples with those of his close relatives. 'The DNA samples of Irfan's mother, brother and father were taken by the medical team in Ahmedabad. In most of the cases, they were taking three-four DNA samples,' said Azhar Khan, a close relative. Irfan was a resident of Sant Tukaram Nagar area in Pimpri Chinchwad. He did his schooling from Dr D Y Patil School, Pimpri and passed Class 12 from Jaihind college. After that he did an aviation course from Pune City. Khan said the Air India looked after the relatives till the bodies of their loved ones were identified. 'They even ensured that bodies were brought home by plane…Irfan's body arrived home at 7.30 am,' he said. Irfan had joined Air India as cabin crew member two years back. 'He initially worked with Vistara… When he got into Air India, he was very happy,' said Azhar Khan. Among the family members, Irfan's mother was most affected. 'She has still not recovered from the shock. Irfan was very close to her. He used to regularly update her about his duty schedule. For a mother, losing a young child is a shock which is still difficult to describe,' he said. The relatives said Irfan was ambitious and wanted to achieve something big in his career. 'He wanted to scale new heights in his career. Whenever we met, he always spoke about making a big career in airlines. Last time we met was after Eid. He had come to my home in Yerawada,' said Azhar. Ujwal Bhagat, a classmate of Irfan at Dr D Y Patil school, said, 'When Irfan had got his first job, he was very excited. He came to the school with pedhas to distribute it among the students and his teachers who taught him,' he said. Former Pimpri Chinchwad mayor Yogesh Behl said, 'Irfan was the shining star of our area. He had got a job as cabin crew member at such a young age. He had set an example for other youngsters to emulate. His death is indeed shocking and difficult to digest.' Behl, however, lamented that the media has not taken proper cognisance of the death of Irfan. 'He was not just a crew member. He was son of a mother…It is regrettable that television channels did not highlight his death like they did for other staff of the Air India who died in the plane crash. Till his last breath, he was serving the passengers and Air India. But nobody thought it fit to pay glowing tributes to him…He was our true Hero…,' he said, a view echoed by several residents of Pimpri-Chinchwad. Advocate Sushil Mancharkar said, 'Irfan died like other passengers and the staff. He was just 22 and had great future for him. He was the 'ladla' of his mother and was popular in the neighbourhood and among his friends. His death at such a young age is very unfortunate. He died while doing his duty. We are all proud of him,' he said. Varsha Jagtap, also a resident of Sant Tukaram, said, 'Irfan came from a poor family, had just started doing good in life and was supporting his family. At a young age he struggled a lot for his family's sake but had a great future ahead. As a resident of Sant Tukaram Nagar, I am proud of Irfan. Like me, everyone in our area feels the same.'

‘He prayed to keep family united, they died together'
Mumbai: Imtiaz Ali Syed finds it surreal that his brother's last plea at umrah —to keep his family "together, always"—was granted with such sorrowful finality. In the aftermath of the AI 171 crash in Ahmedabad, the Syed family's tight-knit quartet—Javed, wife Mariam and their two children, Zayn and Amani, all British nationals—were reunited at Jamaat-Ul-Muslimeen kabrastan on Wednesday. "Mariam was like a little sister to me. She even named my firstborn," Imtiaz recalled. "Our father died young. Our mother and grandmother raised us together. We've always been close: two sons, two daughters, all inseparable." The Syed family hadn't gathered in 15 years—until Javed's layover in Mumbai. Imtiaz disagreed with AI's initial handling of the crisis. "It should've deployed emergency staff in Ahmedabad immediately. I was mourning and managing it all, while waiting two days for any outreach." He said once engaged, the airline "was extremely efficient". Even amid searing loss, Imtiaz channels his brother's legacy of generosity. "Javed sponsored underprivileged students. We'll continue that work for his peace. If people remember anything from his life, let it be his belief in sadaqah—being kind and generous, always." —Mrinalini Singh

'Lived In UK, But Never Forgot Their Roots': Surat Mourns Death Of Couple, 4-Year-Old Kid In Air India Crash
Hundreds gathered at Hasanji Kabristan in Haripura for the last rites of Aqeel Nanabava, his wife Hanna Voraji, and their daughter Sara, who died in an Air India crash The city that slept silently on Tuesday night stirred to an extraordinary moment of mourning as hundreds gathered outside Hasanji Kabristan in Haripura at 1:30 am. The occasion was tragic – the last rites of Aqeel Nanabava, his wife Hanna Voraji, and their four-year-old daughter Sara, who lost their lives in the Air India plane crash on June 12. The family, though settled in the UK for decades, had deep roots in Surat's Bohra community and were brought home for their final journey. Despite being a British citizen, Aqeel's family had long been woven into Surat's social and spiritual fabric through their charitable work, property holdings, and generations of community presence. The outpouring of grief reflected not just the shock of their untimely death, but the emotional bond the city still shared with them. In the crowd stood Abdullah Nanabava, a father hollowed by loss. He had just celebrated Eid al-Adha with his son's family days prior to the tragic crash. 'What words are left now?" he said, barely audible, adding that he had dropped them at Ahmedabad airport himself as they were flying to London. The crash came barely a day after Father's Day. 'In the morning, I was a father. By evening, I was not," he said to a close family friend. Aqeel, Hanna, and little Sara had come to Surat for a short Eid holiday for just six days. It was meant to be a joyful visit, and by all accounts, it was. 'They brought us happiness like a festival," said Abdullah, 'Now, that joy is my memory." As the ' namaz-e-janaza ' (funeral prayer) was held, a sea of mourners – relatives, local clerics, activists, and neighbours – filled the street. The quiet dignity of the crowd reflected the deep respect Aqeel's family commanded. Though Aqeel was raised abroad, those who met him described him as warm, soft-spoken, and always connected to his roots. 'He never forgot Surat," said an old classmate of his father, adding that even when his accent changed, his humility did not. The Nanabava family had made Gloucester, UK, their home. Abdullah had returned to Surat nearly 15 years ago, but his wife and four sons continued to live in England. The family remained close despite the geography – the sons visiting Surat regularly, especially on religious occasions. Aqeel's younger brother, Hamza, and mother Sajida had flown in from London upon hearing the news. It was in their presence that Aqeel and Hanna were buried side by side, just after 2 am. Yet, not everything about the burial followed tradition. The Islamic practice of ghusl (ritual washing of the body) could not be performed due to procedural constraints after the crash. For many, especially close friends like Rashid, the absence of this sacred step left a void. 'It felt like something vital was missing," Rashid said. The soul was gone, but the goodbye was incomplete, he added. Later that day, another call came – this time from Ahmedabad. The remains of four-year-old Sara had been positively identified. In the evening, her tiny body too was brought to Hasanji Kabristan. The prayer was offered once more, the earth was turned once more; this time for the youngest among them. She was buried just beside her parents. Three members of one family – a mother, a father, and a child – now rest in the same city they once came to celebrate Eid in.
