Mangaluru: The family of a brain-dead youth who decided to give a new lease of life to six people by donating their organs has been sanctioned Rs. 5 Lakh from the Chief Minister’s Special Grant Fund.
Yashraj (16), a resident of Ullal Mastikatte, was on his way to college on September 7, 2022 when he fell from a City bus near Adamkudru and sustained serious head injuries. He was immediately rushed to a private hospital where doctors declared him brain dead on September 13.
