As per the latest media report by the Times of India, last year the doctor had cleared NEET PG and got admitted to PG medicine course at Vadodara Medical College. Even though he had attended classes for a while, he stopped going after some time and reappeared for the PG medical entrance. This year he secured admission to the medicine course at BJ Medical College and attended duties on Saturday.
Mentioning that the PG medico had shared about his first day work experience, a fellow student told TOI, "*** was my classmate in the MBBS course. His father had died of cardiac arrest in 2010. His mother is a homemaker and they come from a humble background. He was a bright student."
While commenting on the matter, a senior of the late medico said, "If a student has depression or work-related issues, we counsel them. *** did not tell anyone at the college about his problems. We are all in shock on finding out about his death."
