Wing Commander Afshan tearfully paid her final respects to her husband, Wing Commander Namansh Syal, whose Tejas aircraft tragically crashed during an aerial display at the Dubai Air Show. His body was brought to his ancestral village, Patialkar in Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, where he was cremated with full military honours, including a gun salute. In a heart-wrenching moment, Afshan—also an IAF officer—stood in uniform, fighting back tears, and saluted her late husband. The Indian Air Force remembered him as a dedicated pilot with “unwavering commitment, exceptional skill, and an unyielding sense of duty.”
