London: Amid an outpouring of grief, Angad Paul, the youngest son of industrialist Lord Swraj Paul, was cremated here today, his funeral attended by hundreds of people.
Family, friends, business associates, the rich and the famous were present at the Golders Green electric crematorium despite cold and a steady drizzle, for the final rites of the 45-year-old CEO of the Caparo Group who plunged eight floors to his death six days ago.
A devastated Swaraj Paul, 84, broke down several times as over 1,000 mourners offered their condolences to him, his wife Aruna and Angad's widow Michelle. Other members of the Paul family including some who had flown in from other parts of the world were also present.
NRI industrialists Gopichand Hinduja, Lakshmi Mittal, Nat Puri, Lord Raj Loomba, leading hotelier Joginder Sanger, MPs, several figures from the world of art and craft, and Angad's friends and business associates from the US, Australia and other countries were among those who attended the funeral.
In a longish obituary, The Times London described Angad as a businessman and a philanthropist who ran the steel company set up by his father and invested in films made by Madonna's ex-husband Guy Ritchie, a reference to the hit movie 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels', of which Angad was the executive producer.
