New Delhi: In a tragic incident, an Indian Medical student died in a road accident in Kazakhstan, while two others were injured during an excursion trip.

The embassy said they are working closely with hospital officials and local authorities to ensure assistance is provided. "Family members of the injured students have arrived in Kazakhstan and remain in close touch with the Embassy.

Meanwhile, Medical Dialogues had reported last year that a medical student died of a heart attack in Kazakhstan, where he was pursuing his MBBS degree. On the day of the incident, after dinner, he went for a walk, but when he returned, his health had suddenly deteriorated. Seeing his condition, his friends took him to the hospital, but by then, he had died. After reaching the hospital, he was officially declared dead.
