Doctors, after performing a nine-hour procedure, successfully saved the arm of a 48-year-old woman, Aditi Sawant, which was 90 per cent severed after her saree got stuck in a diamond-cutting machine at Dahisar on February 18.

Aditi, who resides in Dahisar, works in a diamond factory where she use to cut precious stones. Sawant surgery was completed at the Oscar Hospital, a multi-speciality facility, at Goregaon West. The incident occurred around 2 pm after Sawant switched on the high-speed diamond-cutting machine, which can complete 4,000 rounds in a second, and began work.
