On Wednesday night, a road accident claimed the life of Majok Gabriel Piok, a 21-year-old civil engineering student from South Sudan, near Rajkot, according to several media reports. Piok,


who had enrolled at Marwadi University in 2022, was riding his scooter towards the university when a truck collided with him from behind around 9.15 pm near Ratanpar village.


The impact of the collision left Piok with severe injuries, and despite being rushed to Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Government Hospital, he was pronounced dead by doctors.


The truck driver, identified as Dinesh Singh Pratap Singh, surrendered to the police and faces charges under sections of the Indian Penal Code related to causing death by negligence, rash


driving, and endangering life. While an investigation is ongoing, authorities currently do not suspect foul play.


Piok's untimely demise has cast a somber atmosphere over Marwadi University, known for its diverse international student body of approximately 1,600 individuals from 52 countries. Although


Piok did not reside in the university hostel, he was a valued member of the campus community.
