Dr. Priya, who was at Terminal 2 waiting for her flight with her husband, Dr. Ramakant Goyal, witnessed the elderly man collapse. Recounting the event, she told ANI, "My husband Dr. Ramakant Goyal was with me and when we reached there, a doctor couple was also there- Dr. Umesh Bansal and his wife Dr. Dolly Bansal. When the four of us saw, he was completely unresponsive, his breathing had stopped, his heartbeat had completely stopped, and he was not breathing at all."
