The family of Sandeep "Sam" Jeswani has given more information of how Jeswani died at the hands of terrorists in last week's attacks in Mumbai. Sonal Jeswani, his niece, said he was eating at the Oberoi-Trident Hotel when the attacks happened. "He was having dinner with his friends and someone came up to him and asked him, 'Can I see your ID?' And as soon as he gave him his ID, that's when it happened." Yesterday, friends remembered Jeswani as "a gentle giant" and "an amazingly quiet, nice and decent man." Jeswani and a co-worker, Ulf Ahlund, were travelling on business for Wisconsin-based TomoTherapy Inc.; Ahlund was able to escape the hotel.
