Dubai >  An Indian woman tourist, who recently lost her husband in a road accident here and was battling for her life, has died on her flight back home in an air ambulance, a media report said today. Neetu Jain Kawad, 38, died on Monday while being flown to Bengaluru in an air ambulance, two weeks after she lost her husband Dinesh Kawad, 40, in a tragic accident on Emirates Road on January 22.  Neetu had suffered serious injuries in the accident. She had slipped into coma and was treated at a hospital in Dubai, Khaleej Times reported.  The couple hailed from Bengaluru and was on a vacation here when their minibus collided with a truck near Al Aweer area, it said. The deceased have a garments business in India and had left behind their 11-year-old son and nine-year-old daughter with grandparents before coming to Dubai on a leisure trip.
