Tears And Fears: Mississauga Family Mourns Niece Lost To Mumbai Terror Attack

The last place Satnam Hundgenn ever expected to be this week was in Mumbai, India. But that's where the Mississauga man will be on Friday, as part of the saddest trip of his life.

His niece, Jasmine Bhurji, was one of the more than 100 victims of the terror attacks in the stricken country and he's being forced to fly there from Pearson International Airport Thursday night to reclaim her body.

The task is as overwhelming as his grief, but he hopes it will bring his distraught sister's family some small measure of relief. 

"I can understand the feeling she's going through," Hundgeen explains. "I was imagining last night ... my entire family, my brother-in-law, my sister, their son. To board a plane to bring that body back..." He begins to sob openly as he contemplates the death of the innocent that has so terribly crushed his family.

Avnish Hundgenn, the victim's aunt, is equally overcome with emotion as she tries to understand the reasons behind the tragedy. She calls Jasmine "another daughter" and her tears flow endlessly as she contemplates the loss.

"Why her?" she demands. "She didn't do anything wrong! Never! I can't see how - she's so innocent looking. If you see her face - she would never have done anything wrong in her life."

It's a life that was cut short at just 21.

Avnish has a message to those who committed such unthinkable atrocities.

"See what you're doing!" she demands. "What do you have against innocent people?
