NEW DELHI: In a miraculous incident, a speed breaker turned life-saver for a ‘dead’ 65-year-old man, a resident of Kasaba-Bawada in western Maharashtra’s Kolhapur district. The incident unfolded on December 16, when an ambulance was carrying the body of
Pandurang Ulpe
, from the hospital to his home where his family members and relatives gathered to mourn.
He was rushed to the private hospital on Dec 16 after he suffered a heart attack. The doctors declared him dead there.

“When we were bringing his “body” home from the hospital, the ambulance passed over a speed breaker and we noticed that there was a movement in his fingers,” his wife said, according to a report from news agency PTI.
Soon he was taken to another hospital, where he underwent an angioplasty and on Monday a fortnight after the incident, he walked home.
Ulpe, a warkari (devotee of Lord Vitthal) said, “I had come home from a walk and was sitting after sipping tea. I felt dizzy and breathless. I went to the bathroom and vomited. I don’t remember what happened afterwards, including who took me to the hospital.”
