The aircraft crashed near the airport in Ahmedabad, a western city in India, and exploded into flames.

The father of the newlywed man, Arjun Maheshwari, stated that the family had planned a more elaborate wedding ceremony when he returned to India again.

The crying man said:

"During his trip to his hometown, we arranged his marriage.”

Sharing his last conversation with his son by 1 pm on the day of the flight, the father said:

"He called me to say that everything was done and he was ready for take-off. He asked me not to worry as he was going home. He had completed his studies and was working in London. After half an hour, nobody could make any sense of what happened.”

A relative revealed that his new wife had escorted him to the airport and was not even back home when the crash happened.

In a Facebook post, Minster Care Group, where Bhavik worked in the United Kingdom, mourned him in a heartbreaking tribute.
