Thane family’s last rites held near Pashupatinath temple

KATHMANDU: The last rites of the four members of a Thane family who were killed along with 18 others in the Tara Air plane crash in Nepal’s mountainous Mustang district were performed on Thursday on the banks of River Bagmati near Pashupatinath temple here.

The bodies were brought to Aryaghat Cremation Centre at Pashupatinath Temple premises on Thursday morning. It took two days to complete the postmortem of the 22 bodies of the victims.

Businessman Ashok Kumar Tripathi (54) and his Thane-based estranged wife Vaibhavi Bandekar Tripathi (51) were on a reunion trip to the Himalayan country along with their son Dhanush (22) and daughter Ritika (15) when the tragedy struck.
