The doctors declared him dead when they reached the hosipital.

Dr. Alvi, a medical doctor by profession, was a highly respected figure among the Dawoodi Bohra Youth Community due to his profound knowledge of Islam and the manner in which he passed on this knowledge to the masses, specially the youngsters of the community.

Giving further insight into the personality of the deceased, a senior member of the community said that even though Dr. Alvi was a part of a very hectic and demanding profession of medicine, it needs to be appreciated that he gave tremendous amount of time to learning and reading about Islam and conveying it to his family, brethren and society at large.
