In an unrelated but very curious incident in Haryana, Darshan Brar Singh, an 80-year-old man from Karnal, proclaimed dead by the Patiala hospital, was found alive. Darshan Brar Singh was admitted to a private hospital near Karnal due to his age-related problems. His health worsened, and he was put on a ventilator for four days. The doctors confirmed his death after his heartbeat halted.
After the information was reached, the family started preparing for the last rites. The body of Darshan Brad Singh was taken to his home near Karnal from Patiala by an ambulance, accompanied by his grandson Balwan Singh. While traveling, the ambulance hit a pothole near Dhand Village in Haryana’s Kaithal. Balwan Singh witnessed a movement in his grandfather’s hand, and when he checked on him, he sensed a faint heartbeat. He took quick action and exhorted the ambulance driver to drive to the nearest hospital. At the hospital, the doctors confirmed Darshan Singh was alive.
