As reported by HT earlier, 21-year-old Sakshi, who was injured during the Monday protest at Jantar Mantar and was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, has shown significant improvement in her condition.
“She has been taken off the ventilator and is breathing on her own. She is conscious and responding to commands. Her MRI scans of the brain and spine is normal,” said a bulletin issued by the hospital.
Sakshi was injured in a stampede-like situation at the July 20 march after the police began lathi-charging protestors on site.
“Some people fell, leading to a stampede-like situation. Sakshi got trapped in the crowd, and we quickly picked her up. Two MBBS students helped provide CPR near the office. They said she looked critical and was not responding properly,” said Abhay, a DU student who helped take her to the hospital.
