Kedarnath helicopter crash: Only child, Gujarat woman dies on her 30th birthday
It was the birthday of one of the three young women from Bhavnagar in Gujarat who died in the helicopter crash near Kedarnath on Tuesday.
Kruti Barad (30), her cousin Urvi Barad (25), and latter’s friend Purva Ramanuj (26) were flying back from Kedarnath to Guptakashi when the helicopter crashed.
“Kruti was our only child and it was her birthday today [Tuesday]. I made a video call to her at 9 am to wish her. She helped us have ‘darshan’ of Kedarnath via phone and wanted to show us the surroundings too. But I cut the call saying I was short of time,” Kruti’s father Kamlesh Barad, a lineman with the Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Limited (PGVCL), told The Indian Express over phone.
