He later sold it to educate his daughter, who eventually became a flight attendant. Now she has passed away. Her father drives a taxi. Her brother wants to support the family and wants to join the aviation sector. I spoke to some of the officials who told me that Physics and Maths are requirements for the job. However, I have requested them to get Mali's brother a ground work job. We will continue our efforts to get him a job," said Rohit Pawar after meeting Mali's family members, who are currently based in Worli.
