Being highly religious, the Admane couple used to go on pilgrimage every year. They left Nagpur on November 16 and after visiting Omkareshwar Temple, left Indore for Varanasi on Saturday.
Vishal received a call from his father Arun Admane’s mobile on Sunday morning. The caller identified himself as a police officer and told him about his father’s death. The information was immediately relayed to Pankaj and a pall of gloom descended over the Ganeshpeth area soon afterwards.
The uncertainty over Padma’s condition has left the Admane family deeply worried. Their relatives near Kanpur have started combing hospitals there looking for her. Vishal and Pankaj boarded a flight for Delhi late on Sunday, from where they will travel to Kanpur and then to Akbarpur.
