A chartered accountant (CA)-based in Dubai, was among the 26 people killed during a terror attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam on Tuesday.
“He came to attend a wedding function in Chandigarh. The Kashmir trip was suddenly planned. Wish he never had this plan,” recalled Prakash Udhwani, the uncle of 33-year-old Neeraj Udhwani.
Neeraj moved to Dubai from Jaipur with his parents when he was three years old. After his father, Pradeep Udhwani’s death ten years ago, Neeraj continued his job in Dubai. He used to stay in Dubai with his wife after their marriage in 2023, while his younger brother Kishore Udhwani returned to Jaipur with his mother Jyoti Udhwani.
“On April 16, Neeraj and Arushi came to Shimla via Chandigarh to attend one of their friends’ wedding. Later, he planned to visit Kashmir on April 20 when the rest of their friends left. He was supposed to return Dubai from Kashmir this week after the vacation,” said Prakash.
“They killed Neeraj,” Prakash recalled the phone call made by Neeraj’s wife.Later, it was learnt that Neeraj went out of the hotel alone for some time on Tuesday afternoon while Ayushi stayed back.
