He was admitted at the Shushrusha Hospital in Dadar where he was operated upon, but did not recover and was later declared clinically brain dead. The doctors counselled the family to consider donating his organs.

The Zonal Transplant Coordination Committee contacted P D Hinduja Hospital that sent a cardiac ambulance, moved Mr Chaubal to its facility and harvested his kidneys, lung and also skin, as the hopital is not registered as a transplant or a retrieval centre.
