The Ruparelia family announced Rajiv Ruparelia died Saturday morning from injuries in a car crash on the Entebbe Expressway. His cremation will happen on Tuesday afternoon at the Hindu crematorium in Lugogo. Family members will hold a vigil at their Kololo home until the ceremony. They asked for privacy during their time of grief. They shared a smiling photo of Rajiv with their statement.

Rajiv served as Managing Director of the Ruparelia Group, a business empire with stakes in real estate, hotels, schools, and banking. He loved motorsports and started his rally team to boost the sport in Uganda. His Nissan GTR sports car hit barriers near the Busabala Flyover and caught fire, killing him instantly. Many people have raised safety concerns about road construction in that area. Friends and business partners continue sending tributes.

Buganda Premier Peter Mayiga visited the family home today and called the death a major loss for Uganda. He praised Rajiv for his work in developing the country. The family ended their statement with Om Shanti, a prayer for peace for the dead. Rajiv was the only son of billionaire businessman Dr. Sudhir Ruparelia.
