Actress in grovelling apology after accusing Air India crash survivor of lying
An Indian film actress has been compelled to apologise publicly after alleging that the sole survivor of an Air India plane disaster was dishonest about his incredible escape.
Suchitra Krishnamoorthi removed a contentious social media post in which she urged British man Vishwash Ramesh to face "some serious punishment" for allegedly fabricating his story.
In her now-erased post, she questioned: "So this #vishwaskumarramesh lied about bng a passenger on the plane and the only survivor? This is seriously weird. Didn't his family in the UK corroborate his story?".
She continued with her scepticism, asking: "What about his brother's funeral that he was seen giving kandha to? Deserve not only some serious punishment but some mental asylum time if this is true uff."
Her remarks incited anger and prompted people to demand an explanation. She subsequently retracted her original post and issued an apology, reports the Mirror.
Her statement of regret affirmed: "Took out my last tweet on the air india crash survivor. Seems to be false news circulated for God knows what reason. My apologies."
The 40 year old British man, who had boarded Air India flight 171 destined for London Gatwick alongside his brother, miraculously survived when the aircraft crashed shortly after take-off, claiming the lives of all other passengers. The accident's lone survivor later related his feelings of "guilt" at having lived through the tragedy.
Mr Ramesh has confided in friends about his profound grief, admitting he wishes he "was not alive" and tortured by thoughts that his brother might have lived. His brother Ajay was situated on the opposite end of the ill-fated Boeing 787 Dreamliner during the cataclysmic crash, while Mr Ramesh miraculously made it out with minor injuries after scrambling out through a gap in the fuselage.
He agonizes over the thought that their chances of survival could have been doubled had they sat together as he had tried to arrange before the flight. The bereaved father lamented that he had attempted to secure adjacent seats, but his plans were thwarted because one was already occupied.
Describing his heartbreaking ordeal, he said: "If we had been sat together we both might have survived. I tried to get two seats together but someone had already got one. Me and Ajay would have been sitting together."
Haunted by the loss, he shared: "But I lost my brother in front of my eyes. So now I am constantly thinking 'Why can't I save my brother?' It's a miracle I survived."
Bearing the emotional scars, he expressed: "I am okay physically but I feel terrible that I could not save Ajay."
Mr Ramesh, who is also a father, reflected with despondence: "I wish I was not alive."
