And here the doctors also tried their best, but the injury in Bothale head was so serious that he could not be saved. A team of specialist doctors has declared him brain dead on the date of 6th December.

Even after initial consultation by Dr. Ashwini Choudhry, Bothale’s father Umesh, his brother Prashant and the rest of the family members have given their consent to donate his liver and kidney. And being a medico-legal case, the postmortem has also been done.

A kidney of the deceased Bothale gave a new life to a kidney failure 12-year-old patient of the city. While the other has been implanted in a 63-year-old man. And New Era Hospital where the patient was admitted and died due to head injury, has led because liver and kidney transplant was done there. And a kidney has also been taken to Kingsway Hospital.
