He was only 35 years of age. For many years he was a immensely popular radio host with the Leicester based station Sabras Radio. 

Now an media and broadcasting internship has been established in his name. The internship will be open to those with an interest in broadcasting and who are studying for a degree in media and broadcasting to give them practical experience of the broadcasting and media world. 

The initiative has been established by Keith Vaz Britain’s longest serving Asian origin MP who met Rishi during  his time as one of Leicester’s MPs. Mr Vaz now presents a weekly flagship current affairs programme for Lyca Radio 1458 in London, UK called “Talking Points”. 

Keith Vaz said: “Everyone is shocked and grief stricken by Rishi’s death. It is a tragedy  for his family and friends and the community of Leicester and beyond where he was loved and celebrated. This Internship which will bear his name will encourage young British budding talented broadcasters to follow in his footsteps and acknowledge as he did that the media is a force for good. Through  his short and vibrant life he would have created a great legacy for the future. In this profound way Rishi’s talent will still be remembered and recognised”
