Kolkata, Sept. 8 -- The family of Aziz Molla, a 32-year-old fisherman from Maipith in Kultali, donated his organs after he was declared brain-dead at SSKM Hospital following a tiger attack in the Sunderbans on September 2.
Molla was attacked by a tiger while fishing from a trawler in the Sunderbans in South 24-Parganas. He was subsequently admitted to the Trauma Care Centre of IPGMER-SSKM Hospital, where he was undergoing treatment.
