Responding to the calls for help, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma had then directed officials to contact the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to arrange for Rahul’s airlift at government expense. The Indian Embassy in Kazakhstan also closely monitored his condition, coordinating with Indian and Kazakh doctors as well as university authorities to plan his medical care.
After several discussions and permissions, Rahul was finally airlifted to Jaipur’s Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Hospital on Diwali. Sadly, despite all efforts, Rahul succumbed to his illness on Sunday.
