Harish Rana has been shifted from his home to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi, where a special team of doctors is carrying forward the process of passive euthanasia in accordance with the Supreme Court’s order.
His life support system has now been removed, and preparations are being made for his final farewell.
A deeply emotional video of his final moments is doing rounds on social media, which has moved the netizens to tears.
In the clip, Harish Rana can be seen lying on the bed with his gaze fixed upward. While the helplessness was clearly evident on his face, there appeared a strange sense of calmness of being relieved from the pain on his face.
