The 40-year-old British national was spotted walking with a limp as he and the other pallbearers carried his late sibling’s coffin through the streets.

Ramesh and his 35-year-old brother had been sitting near each other on the London-bound flight when it suddenly went down in a residential neighborhood in Ahmedabad last Thursday.

The brothers had been returned to the UK after visiting relatives in India.

In the wake of the wreckage, harrowing footage emerged of a blood-soaked Ramesh miraculously limping away from the site still clutching his boarding pass.

“The side of the plane I was in landed on the ground, and I could see that there was space outside the aircraft, so when my door broke, I tried to escape through it,” Ramesh said from his hospital bed in the aftermath.

“I managed to unbuckle myself, used my leg to push through that opening, and crawled out. I still can’t believe how I survived. I walked out of the rubble.”

Ramesh said he had been sitting in seat 11A, while his brother was seated in 11J when the plane went down.

Investigators are still probing a cause of the tragedy.
