• However, he tragically lost his 52-year-old mother and his two-year-old daughter, who were at the mess building where the plane crashed into

Ravi Thakor, a tiffin delivery man, is mourning as he lost his 52-year-old mother, Sarla Thakor, and two-year-old daughter, Aadhya, in the deadly Air India plane crash, after indirectly saving the lives of 80 doctors.

According to a Times of India report, Ravi and his family have been faithfully serving tiffin, a light meal, to doctors at the Ahmedabad Civic Hospital for the past 15 years.

The lives of 80 doctors were unknowingly saved because they stayed back to have their tiffins instead of returning to the hostel mess, where the plane crashed.

Ravi and his family cook the food they sell at the hostel mess on the BJ Medical College campus, Times of India reports.

On the day of the crash, Ravi, his wife named Lalita, his father named Prahlad Thakor, and a relative began delivering tiffin carriers to doctors working in the wards, leaving behind his mother and daughter.

By 1:40 pm, Ravi heard a loud blast and saw black smoke rising from the hostel mess area. They rushed to the hostel mess, but were denied entry by police officers and others.

"She (his little daughter) would have cried to come with us. So, we quietly stepped out when she was calm," Ravi said amid tears.

He continued:

"It was routine work: fill the containers, deliver the food, wash the utensils, and prepare for the next day. But we knew that we would not be able to carry Aadhya around as we made heavy deliveries in the heat."

A few days later, DNA samples confirmed that his mother and daughter were part of the casualties.
