On duty, Kishor Tijare was going to Gittikhadan Chowk on a two-wheeler for some important work. He met with an accident at around 7.30 pm.

During treatment doctors found that survival of the patient was difficult so the Brain Dead Committee at the hospital, including Dr Nilesh Agrawal, Dr Parag Moon, Dr Vivek Deshpande and Dr Amol Kokas, declared him brain dead.
Later, family of the patient was counselled for organ donations. After getting the consent of the family, Kishor’s vital organs including kidneys, liver and cornea were donated.
