'Left For First Day At Job, Never Returned': Father Of 20-Year-Old Killed In Mumbai Bus Crash

Among the deceased is a 20-year-old Afreen Shah, who left her home to attend her first day at a new job. Her father did not expect it would be his last sight of his daughter. When Abdul Salim Shah spoke to her, she said she had been struggling to hire an autorickshaw to return home.

“It was her first day at work at a new company. After work, she reached Kurla railway station, where she called me at 9.09 pm saying she was not getting an autorickshaw for Shivaji Nagar. I told her to walk towards the highway and get an autorickshaw. But, at 9.54 pm, I got a call from my daughter's phone, and it was a staffer from Bhabha Hospital,” Salim told news agency PTI while recalling the magnitude of the tragedy.

Salim rushed to the hospital and found his daughter's body in the casualty ward. “It was her first day at work, and now I will never get my daughter back,” he added.
