Mumbai, May 6
Amol Chauhan, 25, from Mumbai is among the 114 people on board the Kenya Airways flight, which went missing in Cameroon on Saturday. Chauhan is among the board members of the Parle Agro Industries which manufactures biscuits and Bisleri brand of bottled water.

Ramesh Chauhan, chairman, Parle and Amol's uncle told journalists today that the family is still waiting to have news about the disaster. "All we know is that the plane has gone missing," Chauhan told reporters.

Amol was on a business trip to Africa. Reports said his wife was expecting their first child next month. The airliner crashed after taking off from Douala airport in Cameroon on Saturday. Fifteen Indians were said to be on board the airline.

Amol was on a flight to Nairobi from where he was to take a flight home. Several of his relatives have now left for Kenya to obtain further news about Amol.

Amol's father Sharad is the Managing Director of Parle Products. Amol himself is a champion shooter on the pistol and had won two silver medals at the National Games in Guwahati early this year.
