In a freak accident, a 20-year-old man nearly lost his left arm after it got caught in a dye-mixing machine, while he was cleaning it. Against all odds, however, doctors have managed to salvage the arm and save it from being amputated. Recuperating from the two surgeries he underwent, young Raja Singh still can’t believe his luck, and even the doctors treating him say it is nothing short of a miracle that they could avoid amputation.
