Gurugram, June 5 -- "My sons didn't allow me to see her, even for the last time. They said I would not be able to bear the pain," said Santosh Bansal. Her daughter, Tarjani Aggarwal, was among eight members of the family that died in the fire at an illegal bed-and-breakfast in south Delhi's Hauz Rani on June 3. Police identified the victims as Vivek Aggarwal (45); wife Tarjani (43); their daughters Jivisha (20) and Varya (18). Vivek's mother Premlata, 71; uncle Ashok; aunt Kamla Goyal and her husband, Jhaveri Lal Goyal, who had come from Rajasthan's Ajmer, were also killed. They had all come to meet Vivek's 77-year-old father, Radhe Shyam Aggarwal, who was critically ill and, doctors at Max Hospital, Saket, across the road, had told them, may not survive. The family had moved into the Flourish Stay B&B on Tuesday night to shorten their commute. The hotel went up in flames in the early hours of Wednesday. "Vivek told his cousin over the phone that the electronic lock on the basement gate was not functioning and was pleading to be saved," said Santosh. Family members searched dozens of hospitals for hours to find Tarjani, her two daughters, and two other family members. "We heard that three women had jumped and could not be traced. I thought it was Tarjani and my two granddaughters, but it turned out that they were the ones who perished," she said, trying to hold back her tears. In the end, Tarjani's body, charred beyond recognition, was identified by her earrings. The family said Tarjani and her two daughters were trapped in a hotel room that didn't have a single window through which they could have escaped. "They were burned to death inside it. We learnt that Jivisha and Varya were embracing each other in the final moments. That was how their bodies were found," said Rashi Gupta, Tarjani's cousin. Vivek's critically ill father regained consciousness on Thursday morning and asked for his son. "They had planned to put him on ventilator support, but Vivek wanted that his father may be allowed to pass away in peace instead of making him suffer by putting him on any mechanical support," Santosh said. It is for this that Jivisha had flown back from Bangalore on Tuesday night. She was a second semester engineering student at a private university there. Meanwhile, Varya had planned to start a stock market trading firm. "She was fond of Economics and she had discussed several times with me to help her in starting a trading firm once she became eligible for it," said Ashna, Tarjani's sister-in-law, adding she had scored 96% in the Class 10 examination held earlier this year. Close family members told HT that it had been less than a month since Vivek, who worked as a financial head in an insurance firm in Gurugram, launched his own startup in the insurance sector and had even hired at least 10 employees. They said very few people in the family knew about the startup since he had been testing waters. Two months ago, Tarjani had launched and registered an event management firm. "Tarjani even organised multiple events and had taken a farmhouse on lease in Manesar for expanding her business before which tragedy struck," Ashna, adding Tarjani had shared an Instagram video around 8:40am on Wednesday, just minutes before the hotel went up in flames. On Thursday, the three-storey residence in Sector-46, built in 2019 with the hopes and dreams of Vivek and his family was filled with the wails of their relatives as their bodies were cremated at Moksha Dham in Gurugram's Sector-32. "We are unable to come to terms with this fate," Santosh said. With the hotel in close proximity to a well-known private hospital, among the largest in the Capital, most of the other victims were also either tending to patients or patients themselves. Habib Abid (50), his son Haidar, and brother-in law Ali Amer Mosa (29) had been staying on the fifth floor of the hotel for a week as the 19-year-old received his treatment for a brain tumour at Max Hospital, Saket, just across the road. The Iraqi national narrowly escaped the blaze, but lost his brother-in-law. Nargisa Khan (53), who had come to Delhi from Kyrgyzstan for a liver transplant, had been accompanied by her grandmother Nakhpirat Khan (76) and son, Humayun (26). The primary postmortem report showed that all three died of burn inhalations. According to the Delhi Fire Services (DFS) and Delhi Police, at least 12 foreign nationals had been killed....
