* 22-year-old daughter of DIG (ITBP), training at the Oberoi, shot
* Retired Major-Gen’s daughter-in-law, grandsons die of asphyxiation at Taj

Maninder Singh Bhurjee, a DIG with the ITBP, Bhanu, lost his 22-year-old daughter Jasmine, a hotel management student with the Oberoi Hotel. Only yesterday, he and his wife were planning an akand path to celebrate the newly constructed upper floors of their house in Phase IX. They were expecting their Gurgaon-based engineer son, Parmeet, to be with them.

Jasmine was pursuing a two-year postgraduate degree in hotel management from Oberoi, Delhi, and was on a five-month training with eight other students in Mumbai. She was at the reception along with Himanshu when the terrorists sprayed bullets. She died on the way to hospital after being wounded in her arm. “Her duty was to get over by 10 pm. But destiny had something else in store for her,” her paternal aunt said.
Meanwhile, Maj-Gen J.S. Kang (retd) of Kandala village here lost his daughter-in-law Neeti (43) and grandsons Udhay (14) and Samar (5) in the attack on Taj Hotel. His son Karanbir is a general manager with the hotel. While he was away, his wife and two sons were trapped in a fire started by the terrorists. They reportedly died of asphyxiation.
