Barmer medicalstudent's life cut short in tragedy
Fate, however, had other plans. His decision to eat lunch in the mess instead of joining his friends to buy mangoes proved fatal on Thursday, when Air India's London-bound flight crashed into the BJ Medical College building in Ahmedabad.
Jaiprakash was headed to the mess kitchen when the burning plane's debris fell on him, leading to 30% burns.
He succumbed on Friday. Moments earlier, he had spoken to his younger brother, Pratap.
"He just wanted to serve our village people," said Pratap, fighting back tears.
Jaiprakash's journey to medical college was a testament to his family's sacrifices. His father Dharmaram Choudhary, who is a farmer and also works in textile factories of Balotra, took loans to fund his coaching for NEET in Kota. The family's joys knew no bounds when Jaiprakash secured 675 marks in NEET, earning admission to BJ Medical College in 2023.
"The entire village celebrated when he got selected. His mother's dream was to see him become a doctor. He was so close to fulfilling it," said his cousin Mangalaram. "His mother's dream was to see him become a doctor. He was so close to fulfilling it."
The Choudhary family received the devastating news Thursday evening and rushed to Ahmedabad. They came to know that he was no more after reaching the city. The family returned to Barmer with his body for the funeral which was attended by many villagers Friday evening.
The tragedy has left a sombre note on Bor Charanan village, where Jaiprakash was last seen during Op Sindoor when he had spent time with his family.

Denver plane fire: One injured, 90 flights delayed as American Airlines passengers evacuated — Here's what happened
A mechanical malfunction on an American Airlines flight moments before takeoff led to a dramatic evacuation at Denver International Airport on Saturday afternoon.

The incident occurred around 2:45 p.m. local time as the Boeing 737 MAX 8 began its takeoff roll. According to American Airlines, the plane experienced a 'mechanical issue' that caused the aircraft to decelerate abruptly. Blown tires and braking triggered a localized fire near the landing gear, prompting the crew to initiate an emergency evacuation. 'All 173 passengers and six crew members deplaned safely,' the airline said in a statement. One person sustained a minor injury and was transported to a hospital for evaluation. Five others were assessed at the scene but did not require further treatment. Dramatic footage shared on social media and reported by US media outlets shows thick smoke billowing from beneath the aircraft as passengers slid down emergency chutes and fled across the tarmac. The Denver Fire Department responded swiftly and extinguished the fire. American Airlines confirmed that the affected aircraft was taken out of service for inspection by maintenance crews. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said the crew reported a 'possible landing gear incident' during departure. The agency is investigating the cause of the failure. Due to the emergency, a temporary ground stop was issued at Denver International Airport from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., delaying nearly 90 flights, according to data from FlightAware cited by Fox News.
