Gujarat ex-CM Vijay Rupani, who was known to be ‘affable’ and kept a ‘low-profile,’ was laid to rest with full state honours.

Medical students who survived when an Air India plane crashed into their hostel in Ahmedabad say their first reaction was to help treat the injured.

Rupani was among the 242 people aboard the doomed Flight AI171 that took off from the Ahmedabad airport on June 12 and was en route to London's Gatwick airport. The BJP leader was on his way to meet his daughter in the British capital.

Investigators have now recovered the cockpit voice recorder from last week’s devastating Air India crash and will analyse the pilots’ final words to help determine what caused the disaster that killed more than 270 people.

A new video has surfaced on social media, showing students and staff jumping out of the medical college building where an Air India plane had crashed on June 12.
