On Monday, 17-year-old Reza left home with his 16-year-old brother, Kabeer.
It was the day after the Taliban came to Kabul, triggering the collapse of the Afghan government. The two brothers fled for the airport in hopes of escaping, fearing life under Taliban rule.
The family members told that they were very upset after finding the body of the teenager, but are worried about the whereabouts of his brother. “His legs and arms were gone. I brought him back myself,” a family member said.
The video showing 17-year-old's body falling from the plane like a tiny speck sent shockwaves across the world. Many rights group and other organisations called for intervention to control the situation in Afghanistan.
The family members said they hope to find their younger son "dead or alive"; they have searched all the hospitals in Kabul but have so far not received any information about the 16-year-old.
"We are worried, and we went from one hospital to another, but we didn't get any information."
While speaking, the family member highlighted what had triggered the two brothers that eventually led to their tragic demise.
According to the report, the two boys had heard a rumour from their neighbours that 20,000 people would be relocated to Canada or the United States. This prompted the two to flee to the airport and try their luck there.
"Without telling anyone in the house, he took his personal ID, and left for the airport," the family member said.

The member also accused the Taliban of killing people and said that it was that fear of the Taliban that everyone was trying to run away.
"...They [Taliban] are killing people. They have all left to the airport from lack of jobs and opportunity. They want to go abroad," the family member said.
