Family desperate for news after India plane crash

Available for over a year

The family of a British man feared to have been on board the Air India flight that crashed in India say they are desperate for answers about what happened to him. Faizan Rafik was returning home to Leicester when the plane he was due to be travelling on crashed into a residential area in Ahmedabad on Thursday. The 25-year-old's family say they have not yet received official confirmation about whether he was on board or if so what has happened to his body. His cousin Sameer Rafik told Âé¶¹Éç Leicester reporter Victoria Hicks that his family had been left 'completely stuck and don't know what to do'. A spokesperson for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) said an advice helpline and a support centre had been set up near the airport.
