Ahmedabad, November 14 (Daily Kiran) : A man’s life was saved in Ahmedabad after he suffered a severe knife attack that resulted in his intestines being exposed. The incident occurred during the night of the Gujarati New Year, prompting a three-hour emergency surgery at Shardaben General Hospital.

On November 13, the victim was rushed to a municipal hospital in Saraspur with deep abdominal wounds. His condition was critical due to the severity of his injuries. The surgical team at the hospital acted promptly, performing the emergency operation without delay.

The surgery was conducted by a team of expert doctors, including Hemant Leuva, Jainam Shah, Lakir Patel, and Pritha Jadhav, with assistance from resident doctors Nachiket Sakhiya, Jai Patel, and Sanyam Bhatt.
