Among the victims was Kishan Dhabalia, a 26-year-old cashier employed at a bank.

Dhabalia was abruptly struck by severe chest pain and rushed to the Rajkot Civil Hospital where he met with cardiac arrest. Kishan was the sole earning member of his family.

Rajendrasinh Vala, a 40-year-old father of two young girls and an employee at a private firm, complained of severe chest pain and was rushed to a private clinic. Vala’s condition deteriorated rapidly, necessitating his transfer to the Rajkot Civil Hospital. He too fell victim to a cardiac arrest.

Adding to the somber toll, Mahendra Parmar, aged 41 and reportedly in good health with no prior medical concerns, suffered a sudden heart attack.
