Pune man regains identity after hand transplant
The Free Press Journal - Bhopal|December 31, 2024
"This is nothing short of a miracle," exclaimed doctors as a 32-year-old man from Pune, Prakash Shelar, regained his identity three years after receiving the hands of a 14-year-old brain-dead donor from Surat.

In a groundbreaking revelation, Prakash's fingerprints from the transplanted hand matched his original Aadhaar-linked records, redefining the possibilities of modern medicine and anatomy.

The story began in October 2021, when 14-year-old Dharmik Kakadiya from Surat was declared brain-dead. With immense courage and generosity, his family decided to donate his hands through the DonateLife organization.

Those hands were transplanted onto Prakash, who had lost both his hands and legs in a tragic electrocution accident in 2019.
