It was the first time ever that Chetana, the wife of the former Mahindra & Mahindra engineer, was taking a flight. “She was both nervous and excited about the flight,” recalled Sheetal Nar, a resident of Sukh Sagar in Yogi Nagar where the Kolekars lived, according to the report. Their son Sanved was already at Beijing airport waiting to receive them when he heard about the flight going missing. Also accompanying Vinod and Chetana was Swanand, their younger son, aged 23.
