Last meal becomes final goodbye: 3 BJ Medical College friends die in Ahmedabad plane crash; some were trapped, others fled
AHMEDABAD: When three friends studying at BJ Medical College - Aryan Rajput, Jay Prakash Chaudhary and Manav Bhadoo - gathered for lunch in the mess building, they had no inkling that it would be their last meal together.
They were among the unfortunate people who perished in the deadly AI 171 crash on Thursday afternoon.
Rajput, who was from Jigsoli village near Gwalior, had secured admission to the college after scoring 695 marks in the NEET exam last year. Bhadoo was from Hanumangarh in
Rajasthan
and was also in the first year. Chaudhary, from Boricharan village in Rajasthan, was a second-year student.
They had secured their admissions through the all-India quota and became friends soon enough.
Their hostel was about 500m from the mess building. While they were having lunch, the plane crashed into the mess building. Some students were trapped while others fled.
Another victim, Rakesh Diyora, a second-year student from Diyora village in Bhavnagar, was on the table right next to the one where the three friends were seated.
His brother-in-law Alpesh Chauhan said that Diyora was with him at his residence in Ahmedabad until Wednesday.
