Ahmedabad MBBS Student Missing in Georgia: Family Seeks Urgent PMO Help

The safety of Indian medical students studying abroad is once again under severe scrutiny. A ninth-semester MBBS student hailing from the Viratnagar area of Ahmedabad has gone mysteriously missing in Tbilisi, Georgia, prompting his distraught family to seek urgent intervention from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).

The Extortion and Disappearance

The young medico, who is enrolled at the Caucasus International University, has been completely untraceable since Thursday, May 14, 2026. According to his family, the student had originally begun his medical education in Ukraine but was forced to relocate to Georgia four years ago following the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war.

Tragically, his time in Georgia turned into a nightmare. In the days leading up to his disappearance, the student repeatedly called his parents, reporting severe mental harassment, extortion for money, and explicit death threats from his landlord and associated individuals. Fearing for his life, he vacated the rented flat.

On the morning of May 14, he went to the landlord to hand over the demanded money, return his keys, and collect his remaining belongings. Following this, he took his passport and left for the airport to board a flight back to Ahmedabad. His phone suddenly became completely unreachable at 1:30 PM that afternoon, and he never boarded his flight.

Frantic Search and Diplomatic Pleas

Fearing the worst, the student’s older brother has traveled to Georgia to assist in the search, though the family claims local Georgian police have been uncooperative. Seeking high-level diplomatic pressure, the family approached Ahmedabad West MP Dinesh Makwana, who has formally written to the MEA.

Furthermore, the Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) has stepped in. FAIMA issued a strong statement urging the Indian Embassy in Georgia and the MEA to utilize all diplomatic channels to locate the student, emphasizing that the security of Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs) must remain a top national priority.
