Saiyed family buried together on 9th day of tragedy
Ahmedabad: Hundreds from the Khanpur neighbourhood in the walled city joined the Saiyed family on Saturday afternoon to bid a final farewell to four of its members. They parted with the family on June 12 on their journey to England, promising to meet again for another festival celebration.
The Saiyed family came to India from England and was returning with their daughter after celebrating the festival of Eid-ul-Adha with family members. All four — Inayat Ali Saiyed, his wife Nafeesabanu, daughter Taskin, and son Vaqi Ali — became victims of a tragic plane crash a couple of hours after family members in Ahmedabad went to the airport for a sendoff. The Saiyed family, consisting of six brothers who live together in one building in the Khanpur area, waited for nine days before all of them were identified after the DNA match, allowing them to bury their dear ones.
Inayat's eldest brother, Badesaab Saiyed, said that three bodies were identified two days ago, but Nafeesabanu's DNA matched on Saturday. "It was a feeling of our family members that we should bury all four members together, and therefore we waited for two more days," he said after returning from the burial at the Musa Suhag graveyard.
Inayat and his wife lived in Wembley for 19 years. Their son, Vaqi, shifted to England a few years ago after completing his schooling. Taskin joined her parents in the UK to begin a new chapter in her life. She completed her MBBS from the NHL Medical College in Ahmedabad. Her uncle said that she cleared the Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board (PLAB) exam conducted by the General Medical Council and became eligible to practice medicine in England.
"She planned to pursue her postgraduation in the UK only. But she was supposed to join a hospital as a doctor there after 15 days. That is why she joined her parents," he said.

IIT-Bombay trespasser may have stayed on Powai campus last year too, suspect Mumbai police
Mumbai: Police and security agencies investigating the motives behind the illegal stay of a Mangaluru youth, son of a garment dealer, within the IIT Powai campus from May 29 to June 17, were puzzled by how he accessed the campus twice during his 17-day presence without being detected by security. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Bilal Ahmed Teli, 22, attended ten lectures on artificial intelligence (AI) despite having only completed the tenth grade and holding a diploma in web designing. Initially, Powai police charged him with criminal trespass under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and served notice on June 19. However, the Crime Intelligence Unit (CIU) of the Mumbai police registered a fresh FIR against Teli on June 24 and arrested him under sections for impersonation, cheating, forgery, criminal trespass, and the IT act. Investigators also discovered 22 email IDs created by Teli and are determining their purpose. They are verifying a tip-off that he gained entry to the campus last year and stayed for almost a month. The case was transferred to the CIU amid growing suspicions regarding Teli's intentions. Although Teli maintains he was merely "obsessed with having the IIT tag on his résumé," officials are investigating whether there is more to his elaborate infiltration. Police found several pictures and videos of the campus on his mobile, raising suspicions that he sent them to certain individuals. They have sent his mobile phone to extract its contents and the Internet Protocol of his mobile phone. Police have also informed his parents, who visited him on Thursday. During the probe, officials from Powai police and the CIU discovered Teli's entry in the guest entry book at the IIT gate at 9:39 am on May 29. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "Teli made a total of three calls from his mobile on May 29 before he gained access through the main gate after his third call of one minute and 36 seconds to the control room helped him gain entry. To confirm the details, the team verified his claim of calling and found that it takes four minutes. However, there was an entry in the log book maintained by security at the gate, but the mobile number he provided was fake," said a police officer. Teli arrived in Mumbai from Surat on May 26 and attempted to access the campus on May 26 and 28 May before succeeding on May 29. He exited the campus on June 7 to travel to Surat to meet his cousin for Eid celebrations before returning on June 10 and re-entering the campus. "Although he did not disclose his method of entry, police determined his location through his call network and tracked his presence on campus since the afternoon of 10 June. He was apprehended by an IIT staff member when he was found in the lecture room. His presence went unnoticed until June 17, when Shilpa Kotikal from the Credit Department spotted him inside lecture hall LH-101. She had previously raised an alert on June 4 when he entered her office without permission and fled when questioned. Despite her complaint and the circulation of CCTV footage to campus security, Teli had slipped through the cracks," said the officer. Teli's phone and laptop have been sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) to retrieve deleted data and trace communications. "We are trying to find out who he was in touch with and whether he was acting under someone else's instructions," said a senior officer. "His digital activity and movement across cities appear suspicious, especially for someone who claims he was only here to learn." The officer added that posing as a student, Teli attended lectures on Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, slept in vacant hostel rooms and lounges, and freely roamed the high-security campus without any formal admission. The case is being examined by the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) amid growing suspicions over Teli's intentions.
