In the city of Hyderabad, the wife made a decision that could have given new life to other people after her husband was declared brain dead. Doctors confirmed the state of 57-year-old ASI E. Narsimhi, a Telangana police employee.
His spouse, Lakshmi, bravely expressed the wish to donate her husband's organs to save the life of someone in need. However, despite the family's desire and consent, medical examination showed that none of the organs were suitable for transplantation, and the donation procedure was not completed.
E. Narsimhi held the position of Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) in the Telangana Police Armed Reserve and was attached to the Government Railway Police (GRP) in Sikandrabad. He was originally from Kodur village in Mahabubnagar district and resided in Telangana. According to the State Organization for Organ and Tissue Transplantation of Telangana (SOTTO), Narsimhi's health had been deteriorating for a long time; he was battling acute kidney injury (AKI).
He was undergoing dialysis, which had already been performed four times. On November 3, 2026, Narsimhi developed a high fever accompanied by severe weakness. In a state of high blood pressure, he suddenly lost consciousness and did not regain it. The family rushed him to a private hospital in Hyderabad, where treatment began, but his condition did not improve. Eventually, on November 10, doctors officially declared his brain death.
After the declaration of his condition, Narsimhi's family faced deep grief. Nevertheless, Lakshmi made the decision to consent to organ donation, wishing that his organs could help save someone's life awaiting transplantation. The goal of this initiative was that even in his absence, his organs could give life to another person.
Despite the family's consent, doctors conducted an organ check which revealed that none of Narsimhi's organs were fit for transplantation. Thus, Lakshmi's will and the family's consent did not allow the donation process to be completed.
On the occasion of the tragedy, the Hyderabad police, represented by Commissioner Visi Sadjnar, offered condolences to Narsimhi's family. He highly praised the family's decision on his personal social media account on X, noting that the family maintained humanity even in a moment of personal sorrow. In the commissioner's opinion, his action sends an important signal to society that donation can be a means of giving new life to those in need.
