Two Prasad’s daughters – Sunita and Sujata – are present at Tower D when vertical collapse occurs.
Sujata, who was in the restroom, escaped.
In the crematorium on Sunday, he was seen trying to comfort his sister’s son – Ankit and Sobit.Sujata, who had just arrived in the US, living with Sunita’s sister and brother-in-law, Arun Srivastava.
Arun was saved alive after staying under the waist of debris down for 16 hours.
He wanted to take part in his wife’s last rite but was not allowed to leave the hospital.
“Sunita is used to keep the family stay together.
In January, he visited me on Patna and should come again.
Only if this poor incident has not happened,” said Prasad.
