Rupani was among 241 people aboard in Air India 171 on Thursday afternoon, who crashed shortly after flying to London. Only a British citizen survived in this incident. The government has said that the black box has been recovered, and data decoding is being done to find out the cause of the incident. A few seconds after flying the aircraft crashed, which collided with a building inside the BJ Medical College campus in Meghaninagar, about one kilometer from the airport runway. The collision caused a fireball, which badly damaged the hostel building and many people died on the ground, including some MBBS students.
