A post-graduate medical student, identified as Animesh Machi, died on Friday in the SSKM Hospital, where he was a student, after suffering from mosquito-borne disease - dengue- official sources said.
He was put on artificial ventilator support for the past two days after his blood plate dropped in rapidity and died around 0630 hours on Friday.

He suffered three cardiac arrests early today before his end came, which cast a shadow among the medical fraternity in the SSKM Hospital.
