He was one of the few Indian students who remained in China through the coronavirus pandemic while most of the 23,000 Indian odd students, who left for home, were stuck in India and were unable to return due to Beijing’s reluctance to lift visa restrictions.
The Indian Embassy here and his family have been informed and preparations are being made to send his body home. Currently, no flights are operational between India and China.

Notably, China continued to be ambivalent about permitting the return of over 23,000 Indian students, mostly studying medicine in the country, amid reports that Beijing is allowing students from South Korea and the US to return.
