MBBS student dies just days before exam
TIMES NEWS NETWORK 19.06.2025
Ahmedabad : Among the four hostel students who lost their lives in the tragic crash of Air India flight AI 171 was 21-year-old Rakesh Diyora , a second-year MBBS student from a village near Talaja in Bhavnagar district. Diyora had returned to the medical students’ hostel on June 11 hoping to prepare for his upcoming June 16 examination — a test he would now never take.
Diyora was having lunch with friends in the hostel mess when the tail section of the ill-fated aircraft came crashing down on the premises. The mess area, where several students had gathered, bore the brunt of the impact. Diyora’s brother-in-law, Alpesh Chauhan, who lives in Ahmedabad, recounted with anguish the final moments they shared.
“Rakesh had been staying at our house for the past few days. On Wednesday, he told us he needed to return to the hostel to collect his books and start preparing for his exams. We never imagined that would be the last time we would see him.” Chauhan said panic set in when news of the crash broke. “I kept calling him, but there was no response.
We hoped for the best but feared the worst. And then his name appeared on the list of victims.” Diyora’s untimely death has sent shockwaves through the medical college community, where he was known as a sincere and hardworking student.
