Girls orphaned when father died in Air India crash after scattering wife’s ashes


Two children were orphaned when their father was killed in the Air India plane crash after travelling to scatter his wife’s ashes in her homeland, according to a fundraiser for the family.

Arjun Patoliya, 37, was killed 18 days after his wife Bharti had died from cancer, the GoFundMe page to support their daughters, aged four and eight, said.

The Briton had travelled to Gujarat to fulfil his wife’s “final wish”.

By Saturday afternoon more than £370,000 had been raised to help the girls.

The fundraiser, organised by Mr Patoliya’s colleague, said: “Their mother, Bharti Patoliya, passed away after a courageous battle with cancer.

“Fulfilling her final wish, her husband Arjun Patoliya travelled to India to scatter her ashes in her homeland in Gujarat.”

It added: “Arjun left to bid farewell to his wife, never returned to the children they both raised.

“Now, these two beautiful young girls have been left without parents — their world turned upside down in just over two weeks.”

Jesus, I hope they have a good support network.

I don’t think i would have left two young daughters at such a time .. to scatter the wife’s ashes .

Live in the moment … for the future !

If he had prioritised the poor children they would be living long happy life rather than than this unnecessary living nightmare .


He could have sent the ashes over with strict instructions or even sent them over with a friend or family member and saved an absolute fortune as well

I don’t disagree with what he did. Of course he wanted to scatter his own wife’s ashes as per her request.

…he fulfilled a dying wish of his partner…that’s something I would have wanted to and only have done myself also…it’s not something that I would have ever entrusted to someone else to do…

absolutely, no one goes on a journey and thinks I am going to die today, for goodness sake Zizu get a grip he wasn't Mystic Meg

I see the conspiracy theorists have started already, the survivor threw himself into the the crash for compo

When someone pointed out he was actually booked on the flight.....he missed the plane and then threw himself into the fireball


Apparently he managed to transport himself from the airport to the crash site as he knew the plane was going to crash

Being ridiculous is leaving your two , young , grieving daughters behind and taking an expensive trip across the world to scatter some ashes … something that ANYONE could have done ..

It’s not ridiculous…

You are making these comments based on hindsight…

…but isn’t that the thing, that anyone couldn’t have taken her ashes to be scattered because it was a specific final wish that her husband take them…he was the person that she made that request to…should he have said no, you ask or I’ll ask someone else to take that journey to your final resting place…?…or should he have said yes, of course…and then not taken them…have her only believe that he would carry out that final thing she’d ask …?…his wife was also aware that she was mother to two young daughters and asked him to fulfil the wish…hindsight is a wonderful thing as they say, of course he wouldn’t have boarded that plane had he known its fate…but through the sadness of the tragedy, he did fulfil the wish as he obviously wanted to…
