The British person, who was the only survivor of the last week’s Air India Plain Crash, helped his brother rest in the funeral in Western India.
Ajay, brother of Vishwaskumar Ramesh, was also on a sick flight, but did not survive the tragedy.
A blindly disturbed Ramesh Pal was one of the bearrs who took his brother’s coffin to the crematorium in the city of Diu, his hand and face was still covered in white straps. He has spent most of the last five days in the hospital.
London-bound Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed seconds after flying from the city of Ahmedabad on Thursday. At least 270 people were killed, most of them passengers.
Mr. Ramesh’s mother went with the coffin in a blue sari with another mourning, as she placed it on her right shoulder.
Many people of the city – who lose 14 other people in the accident – came out for the funeral, even the rain stopped the procession.
It is not clear how Mr. Ramesh managed to survive. He even tried to return to the blazing plane to search for his brother, one of the first respondents at the scene told the BBC.
In a new video emerging earlier this week, ambulance driver Satinder Singh Sandhu is the person who directs Shri Ramesh for safety as he comes out of the accident site with flames and billing thick smoke in the air behind him.
Mr. Sandhu, a supervisor of emergency ambulance services in Ahmedabad, says he did not know who he was helping, or Mr. Ramesh ran away from the plane. He only came to know later that day that the man was the only survivor of the accident.
The 40 -year -old Vishwaskumar Ramesh was in the seat 11A on the flight. His brother is reported that he was sitting on some seats.
All other passengers and crew died and about 30 people were also killed on the ground after falling under the plane and crashed in the doctor’s hostel.
But Mr. Ramesh miraculously survived, managed to get out of the rubble through an opening in the torso.
The new video shows Mr. Sandhu, who is wearing a blue turban, walks to Mr. Ramesh and guides him for security.
Mr. Sandhu said that he was having lunch with his colleagues when he first witnessed “large -scale fire with thick smoke in the sky”.
“First, we thought it could be a car accident or a gas cylinder explosion. Soon, we learned that it was an aircraft accident. I immediately instructed my team to bring an ambulance, and reached the site.”

Talking to BBC Gujarati, Mr. Sandhu said that he was just trying to do his work. In his decades-lengthy career, he said that he had faced many challenging circumstances.
But that day he wondered how Mr. Ramesh, after being rescued, tried to go back to the accident site.
Mr. Sandhu said, “He did not know what he was doing.
“When he told me that his relative was trapped inside and he wanted to save him. We did not even speak a word after that.”
Mr. Ramesh later told India’s DD News that he was trying to search for Ajay.

On the spot, Mr. Sandhu saw a security guard, who was injured under influence. His clothes were partially burnt and Mr. Sandhu helped him first.
“I also saw a woman. She was scary. Her son who used to run a tea stall was killed in an accident.”
A moment later he saw that Mr. Ramesh emerges from an accident site in a white shirt.
Mr. Sandhu said that he had injuries on his face and burned on his arms and looked visually disturbed.
“At that time, we had no idea who was the injured man. I felt that he was one of the doctors who lived in college. Later, when we saw the news, we realized that he was the only survivor of the accident.”
Chirag, a member of Mr. Sandhu’s ambulance team, told the PTI news agency that Mr. Ramesh was telling someone on a video call that his relatives were at the accident site.
The first respondents treated her for her injuries and took her to a nearby hospital trauma center.
In his interview with DD News, Mr. Ramesh had said that he could not believe he had come out of the debris.
“For a moment, I felt as if I was going to die too, but when I opened my eyes and looked around, I realized that I was alive.
“I still can’t believe how I survived. I went out of the rubble.”
The cause of the accident is not yet known. Officers are trying to decode the cockpit voice and flight data recorders – collectively known as the black box – which happened together with the debris.
