The fate of Vaibhavi Tripathi, her husband Ashok Kumar Tripathi and their children children Dhanush and Ritika, residents of Thane city are yet to be known.
When Mumbai police personnel today contacted the elder sister of Vaibhavi (Bandekar) Tripathi, who was on board the plane that went missing in Nepal earlier in the day, she requested them not to tell anything about the incident to her mother, saying she was already in a critical condition, an official said.
The fate of Vaibhavi Tripathi, her husband Ashok Kumar Tripathi and their children children - Dhanush and Ritika - residents of Thane city adjoining Mumbai, and 18 others travelling with them in the Tara Air plane, is yet to be known hours after the aircraft went missing in the mountainous region of the Himalayan nation minutes after taking off, officials said.
"Following the incident, the Indian Embassy in Nepal contacted the Mumbai police asking them to find the residence of the four family members who were on board the plane, and inform the relatives about it. Accordingly, a team of the Borivali police station got in touch with one Seema Prabhu, who resides in Vaibhavi (Bandekar) Tripathi's housing society. She gave Vaibhavi's elder sister Sanjeevani Sadani's contact number, who lives with her mother in Thane," an official said.
"The police contacted Vaibhavi's sister and shared the information with her. But she told our personnel that she had already got in touch with the Indian embassy in Nepal. She then requested the police not to tell anything about the incident to her mother as her health condition is critical," he added.
