One-and-a-half-year-old boy declared dead at Hubballi KIMS Hospital found alive before funeral
Dharwad: A one-and-a-half-year-old boy, who was pronounced dead at the KIMS Hospital in Hubballi, was discovered to be alive when his body was brought back to Basapura village of Navalgund taluk for final rites.
The child, identified as Akash Basavaraja Pujara, had been admitted to KIMS Hospital in Hubballi due to his deteriorating health over the past few days. Faced with Akash's apparent lack of response to medical intervention, the medical professionals at KIMS Hospital concluded that the boy's heart had ceased to beat and declared him dead. Subsequently, the boy's lifeless body was transported to his village for the last rites.

The boy's body was brought back to the village, where his parents performed the funeral rituals but then, suddenly found their son to be breathing again.
The parents got Akash admitted to the hospital at Navalgund. As the hospital lacked a ventilator, the boy was moved back to KIMS Hospital and is being treated at the ICU.
KIMS Hospital, however, later clarified that the child was alive when the family had discharged him and left the hospital and that he was not declared dead by the hospital. "We did not give any certificate that the child was dead," KIMS director Ramalingappa Antarathani clarified.

'Strong evidence' available against Saif attacker, police tell court while opposing his bail plea
Mumbai, Jul 25 (PTI): Police have opposed the bail plea of the Bangladeshi national arrested for allegedly stabbing Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan with a knife and injuring him at his home here in January this year, telling a Mumbai court there was "strong evidence" against the accused.
Citing a Forensic Science Laboratory report, police reiterated before the sessions court their earlier claim knife fragments that got lodged near the actor's spine during the attack as well as a part found at the crime spot have matched with the weapon recovered from the accused, Shariful Islam.
These three pieces were part of the same weapon (knife) used to attack the filmstar, the police said in a written response to the accused's plea submitted in the court on Thursday (July 24).
Khan was repeatedly stabbed with a knife by an intruder inside his 12th floor apartment in upscale Bandra on January 16 during a robbery attempt.
The 54-year-old actor underwent surgery at Lilavati Hospital to remove a piece of knife that got lodged near his spine during the attack. He was discharged from the private hospital after five days.
Shariful Islam, a Bangladeshi national, was arrested two days later for allegedly stabbing Khan.
The police, in their response, highlighted that the accused is a Bangladeshi citizen residing illegally in India.
If granted bail, there was a possibility that he may flee India and not appear before the court during the trial. The crime committed by the accused is of a "very serious nature, and strong evidence" is available against him, they argued.
In his bail plea, filed through advocate Vipul Dushing, the accused asserted he was innocent and had no prior criminal record.
Investigation into the case has practically concluded with only the filing of a chargesheet pending, the accused contended while seeking bail.
The alleged attacker has been booked under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) sections related to house trespass, robbery and dacoity with attempt to cause death or grievous injury.
