Anni Dewani's father, Vinod Hindocha has suffered a terrible accident which caused his right arm to be ripped off just below his shoulder. Anni Dewani was murdered while on honeymoon in South Africa in 2010.
Vinod Hindocha (65), who is an engineer was fixing a lift when a chain slipped and he fell to the ground, “looking up at his severed limb.” He was flown to a hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden where he was operated for a gruelling 13 hours, with surgeons trying to reattach his limb.
Hindocha has regained some movement in the arm at the elbow. However, he will have to wait approximately 18 months before finding out whether there will be more movement.
Ashok Hindocha (54), Vinod Hindocha's brother stated, “He is getting feeling back. He has movement in his elbow, which surgeons say is the most important thing, and his finger tips are getting warmer. Thank God for that, but it could be another year to 18 months before he knows how much movement he will regain. He may not get 100 per cent movement below the elbow, but they have all sorts of techniques to help with his hand movement.”
