Kranti is a teacher, but had left her job recently. Her husband is returning to India after the news of the missing flight breaking. The couple has two children – Rahul and Yashwant – who stay in Pune at a relative’s home. Rahul studies in standard XI and Yashwant in standard V.

“We are in direct contact with Prahlad regarding the status of the investigations of this case. We are hopeful that she is safe and will soon return,” said Satish Shirsat, Kranti’s brother.
