23-month-old brain dead baby gives new lease of life to 17-year-old boy
A 23-month-old child, who was declared brain dead, gave a new lease of life through kidney donation to a 17-year-old boy battling kidney failure in Rajkot’s BT Savani Hospital. It was reportedly the first cadaver donor transplant in Gujarat ever since lockdown was imposed on March 23.
The toddler, identified as Ved Zinzyvadiya, had fallen ill a week ago as he started vomiting and had trouble speaking. Rajkot Surgeon Dr Sudhir Rughani suspected that the child might have brain tumour, which was confirmed by diagnostics. While the doctors tried to perform a procedure to remove the swelling inside his brain, complications arose and the tumor immediately ruptured and Ved was declared brain dead.

Veds parents were counselled that they could donate his organs, which could give new lease of life to other critically ill people. After the parents agreed, Ved was shifted to Rajkots BT Savani Hospital. A team of doctors left for BT Savani hospital in the intervening night of May 30 and May 31 with two potential recipients, out of which one was from Ahmedabad. Ved turned out to be a perfect match for 17-year-old from Ahmedabad who was on dialysis for the past one-and-a-half years.

Congress leader Prakash Rathod, on Friday, was caught on camera while allegedly scrolling through few adult content clips in the State Assembly. This turned out to be a huge embarrassment for both, Congress and Rathod as regional channels aired the video, in which he was ?caught in the act.
The MLC member was present in the house during the proceedings of the legislative council. While the house was in session, Rathod was watching adult content on his smartphone.
However, he threw these charges under the bus and said, I was looking for materials for a question I wanted to ask the government in question hour.
?When I was looking for question material, I deleted too many messages as my phone storage was full. What the media has shown or seen, I don’t know. I would never do such things or see such things, he added.
This was not the first time in Karnataka that such an incident had happened. Back in 2012, three Bharatiya Janata Party ministers were caught on camera allegedly watching adult content in the State Assembly. Following the scandal, they resigned from the state government due to public embarrassment.
