Air India Plane Crash: Vijay Rupani’s 'Lucky' Number 1206 Turns Tragic on Day of Fatal Flight

Former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani was among the victims of the tragic Air India plane crash that occurred shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad en route to London. The accident, which has claimed the lives of 241 passengers, has shocked the nation and led to an outpouring of grief.

Rupani, a senior political figure and a widely respected leader, was traveling to London when the Boeing 171 aircraft crashed within minutes of departure. While the nation mourns his loss, an unusual coincidence surrounding his death has captured public attention.

According to close associates, Rupani considered the number 1206 to be his lucky number — a belief rooted in his interest in numerology. This number was not only displayed on the number plates of his personal vehicles but was also frequently referenced by him in personal and professional contexts.

In a chilling twist, the crash occurred on June 12, 2025, or 12/06/2025 — a direct match to the number 1206. Social media platforms have since been abuzz with reactions and speculation, with many noting that the number once associated with good fortune tragically coincided with the date of his demise.

Rupani’s belief in numerology was well-known among his supporters. “He was deeply connected to the number 1206,” said one close aide, pointing out that it was prominently featured on many of his belongings.

The crash has not only devastated the people of Gujarat but has sent shockwaves through the political landscape. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, and numerous political and social leaders have expressed their condolences over Rupani’s untimely passing. Tributes have poured in acknowledging his contributions to the state and his lasting legacy in public service.
