In Mumbai Fire, 2 US-Based Brothers On Holiday Went Back For Aunt. All 3 Died

Mumbai : One of the worst tragedies to emerge after the Mumbai pub fire that left 14 people dead is that of two US-based brothers who had come to India recently on a holiday. Dhairya and Vishwa Lalani suffocated when they tried to save their aunt after a fire tore through the "1 Above" restaurant at the Kamala Mill Compound.

The bodies of Dhairya Lalani, 26, and Vishwa Lalani, 23, were found near a washroom that had no windows or exits, along with many other bodies including that of their aunt, Pramila.

Their father Jayant Lalani appeared stunned with grief at their funeral this morning.

The brothers had arrived in Mumbai two weeks back. After attending a series of weddings in the family, they were at "1 Above" for a party organized by their aunt for them and their friends.
