A husband who was travelling back to London after scattering his late wife's ashes in India died after the plane set to take him home crash landed just a minute after take-off.
Arjun Patolia, a father-of-two, had been visiting a village in the Amreli district in Gujarat to immerse his deceased wife's ashes in a local river.
Patolia's wife Bharatiben had tragically died just seven days ago in London and her dying wish was that her ashes in a floral urn be taken back to her home in India.
After carrying out this last wish, Patolia completed several funeral rites with relatives in his village and was set to return to London on Thursday to see his two daughters, aged four and eight.
Tragically, he did not make the journey and his children have now suddenly been left orphaned.
