A native of Karamana, Mr. Rajesh was hospitalised on May 5 after collapsing at his workplace in Muscat.

Following talks with airline officials in the presence of the police, the body was taken home for performing the last rites.
Close to a hundred flights had been cancelled in Kerala alone after the senior crew of the airline started a flash strike in protest against the HR policies of the company on the night of May 7.
