Mumbai: Jet Airways cabin crew Nidhi Chaphekar, who was grievously injured in the Brussels airport bombing, returned to Mumbai early on Friday. The 40-year-old was shifted to the Breach Candy hospital for further treatment.

The suicide attacks in Brussels left 31 dead and 300 wounded besides leaving hundreds of flyers stranded due to the closure of the airport immediately after the explosions.
