Gujarat Plane Crash: A Story of Relief and Sorrow
A Father’s Heartbreak
Manish Kamdar is devastated. He can’t stop thinking, “If only…”. A cruel twist of fate has left him broken. He lost his daughter Yasha, her mother-in-law Raxa Modha, and his 15-month-old grandson Rudra in the crash.
The Immigration Counter
What happened at the immigration counter haunts Kamdar. An officer asked for extra documents for Rudra. Yasha and Raxa did not have them. Yasha had an Indian passport. Raxa and Rudra had British passports.
Kamdar recalls, “The officer cleared Yasha and Raxa but refused to let Rudra board. He asked for documents for Rudra, but we did not have them.”
The £1,000 Fee
The officer charged £1,000 to clear Rudra for boarding. Raxa paid the money. The three were among the last to board. Their relief soon turned into deep sorrow.

As Kamdar sits in the civil hospital, he is tormented by questions:
- What if the officer had stood firm?
- What if Raxa hadn’t paid?
