A pall of gloom descended on the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) in Adilabad on December 18 following the tragic death of two MBBS students of the RIMS in a road accident in the neighbouring Yavatmal district of Maharashtra.
The two MBBS third-year students, David Raj from Parkal in Hanamkonda district and Balasai from Vijayawada of Andhra Pradesh, were killed after the bike they were riding hit a lorry parked on the roadside at Pandharkawada, a border town in adjoining Maharashtra, around Sunday midnight, sources said.
The incident occurred when they were returning to Adilabad after having dinner at a hotel near Pandharkawada.
