"She was recuperating and was supposed to be released from the hospital within two days," spokesperson and medical superintendent of Max Vaishali Dr. Ruchi Ranawat told PTI.
Her husband Khairulla and her son Nurbek Mirzabdullaev were here along with her, the official said and added that Khairulla was the donor.
