The photograph captures a haunting symbol of a family’s final journey.A dust-covered white Mercedes sits quietly outside the gutted structure of Flourish Stay Bed and Breakfast in Delhi’s Hauz Rani, silently telling a story words can hardly narrate.
The family had travelled to Delhi to be with 75-year-old Radheshyam Aggarwal, who is undergoing treatment for a lung infection at Max Hospital in Saket, and had checked into a nearby hotel to remain close to him. Passers-by slow down as they approach the cordoned-off lane, their eyes moving from the charred remains of the hotel to the car standing quietly in front. The Mercedes remains untouched — a silent witness to one of the deadliest hotel fires in Delhi in years.
The tragedy also claimed the lives of Premlata’s sister, Kamla (52); brother, Ashok (56); and brother-in-law, Jhaveri, who had travelled from Kishangarh in Rajasthan’s Ajmer district.
The trio had initially planned to return home earlier but decided to extend their stay after being persuaded by family members to spend more time together, according to relatives. Family members remembered the victims as accomplished individuals with promising futures. Vivek served as the chief financial officer of a private insurtech company, while Tarjani, a former beauty pageant title-holder, worked for an event management firm.
