We were robbed of our dreams, says grieving wife
Arvin Ramluckan. Image: Supplied FOR a Tongaat woman the pain of losing her husband, Arvin Ramluckan, during the tornado remains while her two young daughters yearn for their father daily. Arvin, 37, a boilermaker, from Sandfields, died in hospital three days after the tornado hit, on June 6. He suffered extensive head injuries. At the time, a relative said Arvin's company transport had dropped him off near a shop on Sandfields Road. He had been walking to his home, a few metres away with a friend when they were caught in the tornado. The relative said Arvin and his friend held hands and started running to get to another friend's house to seek shelter. However, along the way, they were separated. He said Arvin was picked up by the tornado and flung against a brick wall, which then collapsed on him. Arvin was later taken to hospital by paramedics and placed on a ventilator. Speaking to the POST, Shanel Ramluckan, his wife, said they had hoped he would recover. 'I still remember seeing him lying in his hospital bed. While he was not able to speak or move, I had some hope that he would get through it. But he fought until he couldn't anymore. His tragic passing has been our greatest loss as he was the most loving husband and father. He was also our protector and now we are forced to live without him.' Ramluckan said the last conversation she had with Arvin was earlier that morning, when he video-called to speak to her and their daughters, now aged six and three. 'He left to work early in the morning, but would always call during his breaks. When he called that morning during his tea break, he only spoke to our youngest daughter as the eldest was still asleep. He said he would call later. I waited for his call at midday when he took his lunch break, but I think they had a meeting and he didn't have time. We never got to speak to him again.' Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad loading Ramluckan said later that afternoon when she opened the door to let her dog out, she was met by the tornado. 'I didn't know there was a tornado approaching. The dog needed to go out, so when I opened the door I was hit by this strong wind. I could hear this loud noise; when I looked outside I saw the roof tiles flying off our relative's home next door. I managed to push the door closed and went to hide in our bedroom. 'After some time, I heard the relative calling out for me and went outside. She was badly injured. Moments after that, Arvin's friend came running into the yard, asking where Arvin was. I knew something was wrong. 'While we were sitting inside, my brother-in-law arrived and said Arvin had been injured, but he was okay and had been taken to hospital. We couldn't leave the area at the time as the roads were blocked. The next morning, my sister and I went to the hospital to see him. He was on a ventilator and not responsive,' she said. Ramluckan said she went to visit Arvin again on the Thursday. 'We were waiting to see him as we were told he was going to be moved from casualty to a ward. They weren't allowing the girls to go in but said they would be able to see him while he was being moved to the ward. 'The girls were hungry, so we took them to get something to eat at the shop. It wasn't even a few minutes that we were gone when my sister received a call that he had passed away. We rushed back to the hospital. I was in shock. My husband was gone. I still remember when I touched him, his body was still warm," she said. Ramluckan said her daughters still yearned for him. 'Almost every day my girls are in tears. At times, they are inconsolable that I have to call my sister to come home because I don't know how to comfort them. There are times when the youngest one will say she misses her dad and she wants to go by him. Her sister will tell her that 'daddy died, but he is watching over us'. It breaks my heart as they loved him so much. They were his whole world.' Ramluckan said she and Arvin had many future plans. 'He always used to say he wanted to have another child - he wanted a son. He also said he wanted to buy a car and renovate our home. But, we have been robbed of those dreams.' Arvin's one year memorial service was held at his home on Sunday. THE POST

Realtor dupes US national of 12.5 cr, held
1 2 Tirupati: Police arrested a fraudster who duped a foreigner of Rs 12.5 crore in the guise of investing in real estate at Puttaparthi in Sri Sathya Sai district. The accused was identified as Ratnakaram Sathyanarayan Raju, a realtor living in Puttaparthi. He had gained acquaintance with a US citizen identified as Arvin Francis Mahendrakar and won his trust gradually. As their friendship grew and Arvin fully trusted Ratnakaram, the later convinced Arvin to invest in real estate in Puttaparthi and Arvin transferred Rs 12.5 crore to the bank accounts of Ratnakaram. With the money he received from Arvin, Ratnakaram purchased lands and other properties in his own name instead of purchasing them in Arvin's name. When Arvin came to India recently and met Ratnakaram at Puttaparthi and questioned about his funds, the realtor bluntly said he never received any money from him in the first place. After realising he was duped, Arvin lodged a formal complaint at the Puttaparthi urban police station on May 22 and a case was registered.

Stay out, stay alive: At least 4 rescued from Kern River east of Lake Ming Saturday
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — At least four people were saved after tubing in the Kern River Saturday night near Lake Ming. The Bakersfield Fire Department deployed the swift water rescue team in an hours long operation that ended successfully, this time. On Friday, Matthew Patrick with the Bakersfield Fire Department warned to stay out of the killer Kern when you try to escape the heat. He mentioned the death toll sign at the mouth of the Kern River Canyon. 'That sign's been out there since 1968,' said Patrick. 'So, we've had 335 deaths since 1968 in the river. So, the Bakersfield Fire Department, the best advice we can give you is, stay out, and stay alive.' Patrick says crews were conducting swift water rescue training in Kernville Friday to prepare for the worst. 2 dead, at least 2 hurt in Arvin shooting Saturday morning Then during Saturday's weather forecast at 5, 17's Rob Hagan gave the same warning, 'Please, I know the river looks tempting, but stay out, stay alive.' It came true Saturday night. River rescue crews sprang into action Saturday evening after receiving multiple reports people were trapped on an island in the Kern River, East of Lake Ming. There were two reports of river rescues, including one at 6:06 p.m. and another at 8:52 p.m. It's unclear if they're related. Crews deployed multiple rafts in an operation lasting hours, and successfully rescued at least four stranded people with two appearing to be children. There are no reports of injuries or deaths. There were 335 people who have drowned in the Kern River since the last update to the death toll sign in 2024. That was before the weekend of July 4th — also known as the weekend of death — when at least three people drowned, including a man who jumped in the river to save a woman who was swept away. 'The Kern River is known for very fast currents,' said Patrick. 'You might not be able to see those currents from the surface, but when you get in underneath, the water is moving very rapidly. So, it could sweep you away at any moment.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
