Meera Pathak, grandmother of Pilot Shambhavi Pathak, who was the pilot of the ill-fated charter plane on Wednesday, stated that the incident shocked and terrified her. She was informed about the fatal crash by her younger son.
"The incident happened today and is very unfortunate. Shambhavi came to me for Commercial Licensed Pilot training and completed her instructor rating. With me, she had flown 40-50 hours. Shambhavi joined my training centre before COVID, maybe in 2018-19," Mahajan told ANI.
