The patient reported to be 21, had met with an accident near Jalahalli on January 1st and declared brain dead the next day. The authorities at MS Ramaiah Hospital had spoken to the family members about possible organ donations.

As reported in TOI, a matching recipient was found in BGS global hospital, where a 29 year old man, suffering from cardiac ailment had registered with Zonal Coordination Committee of Karnataka seeking heart transplant.

The 30 km route was completed in 15 minutes thanks to the preparedness of the police.
