A medical student from Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, tragically lost his life in a devastating plane crash near Ahmedabad's Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport on Thursday. Aryan Rajput, a promising second-year MBBS student, was aboard the ill-fated Air India flight bound for London that crashed into a residential building used as a hostel for resident doctors.
Aryan had been residing in Ahmedabad for the past year, according to his uncle, Vishnu Rajput. He had just finished a meal before the tragic incident occurred around 1:30 pm. Vishnu expressed the profound sorrow that has engulfed Aryan's hometown, describing the prevailing atmosphere of grief.
Politicians and locals alike have publicly expressed their condolences. Gwalior MP Bharat Singh Kushwah posted a heartfelt message on social media, mourning Aryan's loss and praying for the strength of the bereaved family.
