British couple died in Air India crash

Fiongal and Jamie Greenlaw-Meek were a married British couple who were part of the victims of the Air India plane crash.

The duo, who ran a spiritual wellness centre in London, shared a post on Instagram on Thursday, stating that they were about to board the flight from Ahmedabad airport.

They were seen laughing and joking with each other about their trip to India in the Instagram video they shared.

Vijay Rupani was a former chief minister of Gujarat state in India. The country's civil aviation minister told reporters that Rupani was killed in the crash.

Rupani served as the chief minister of the western Indian state from 2016-2021, BBC reports.

His cousin, Ajay Valgi, told the BBC that Vishwashkumar Ramesh had called his family to say he was "fine", but he did not know the whereabouts of his brother.

Raxa Modha and her two-year-old grandson, Rudra, were believed to have been flying back to England for a memorial service for Ms Modha's late husband, Kishor, who died in April from cancer.

The mayor of Wellingborough, Raj Mishra, said:

"I extend my deepest condolences to their families, friends and all those affected by this heartbreaking event. May their memories be a blessing, and may we come together to support one another in this time of grief."
