With bandages still on his face and arm, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, who had been discharged from hospital on Tuesday, broke into sobs and was consoled by relatives.
Just six days earlier, the Leicester businessman had been sitting with his brother Ajay on the London-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner that crashed into a medical college hostel in Ahmedabad after taking off.
All 241 other passengers and crew onboard the flight last Thursday died, as have at least 30 people on the ground, including five medical students.
