The Emirati Defence Forces honoured the Indian braveheart with a ceremonial guard of honour,” an official post by the Indian Embassy in the UAE stated on X.
Wing Commander Syal, who hailed from the Nagrota Bagwan in Himachal Pradesh's Kangra district, is survived by his wife (who is also an officer in the Indian Air Force), their six-year-old daughter and his parents. As the news reached his native village, relatives, neighbours and locals began gathering at his ancestral home with shock and sorrow.
Mehar Chand, a villager, told ANI, “All of us are very sad to know about this accident. People are going to his house to show solidarity and express grief. The family is not here, but the extended family members are here. He was a brilliant child, and we are proud of him.”
Another resident, Madan, told ANI, “We cannot accept that someone so full of life and courage is no longer with us. The entire village is sad and shattered.”
The IAF said a court of inquiry is being constituted to ascertain the cause of the accident in which the pilot succumbed to fatal injuries.
