UK-Based Doctor, Family of Five Perish in Tragic Air India Crash
A UK-based doctor, his wife, and their three children have been confirmed among the victims of the ill-fated Air India Flight 171, which crashed shortly after takeoff in Ahmedabad, India.
Dr. Pratik Joshi, who had been practising medicine in the United Kingdom for the past six years, was preparing to begin a new chapter of life with his reunited family. After years of working abroad, he had finally made arrangements for his wife, Dr. Komal Vyas, and their three young children to join him in London. Filled with hope and anticipation, the family boarded the aircraft together, ready to embrace the future they had long dreamed of.
However, their journey ended in unimaginable tragedy when the aircraft went down, killing everyone on board. The Joshi family, whose plans for a fresh start were just beginning to unfold, lost their lives in the crash.

The deaths have sent shockwaves through both the Indian and British medical communities, as colleagues and friends mourn the loss of a devoted healthcare couple and their young children. The grief is especially profound for those who had looked forward to welcoming the family to their new life in the UK.
