The Hindustan Times spoke to 40-year-old Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, who is currently recovering in hospital. Police confirmed that Ramesh was seated in 11A on the London-bound flight. The newspaper also published a photo of his boarding pass bearing his name.

"It all happened so quickly," Ramesh told the paper from his hospital bed. "When I got up, there were bodies all around me. I was scared. I stood up and ran. There were pieces of the plane everywhere. Someone grabbed me, put me in an ambulance, and brought me to the hospital."

Ramesh, a British national, had been in India for a few days visiting family and was returning to the UK.

Senior police officer Vidhi Chaudhary also confirmed to the Reuters news agency that police had located passenger 11A in hospital.
