June 11th, 2011 - 10:53 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, June 11 (IANS) The condition of 51-year-old Raj Bala is “very critical”, doctors said Saturday, a week after she suffered spinal injuries during police action here against fasting yoga guru Baba Ramdev and his supporters.
“Raj Bala is conscious, her vital parameters are being maintained with pharmacological support and she continues to be on ventilatory support. Her condition is very critical,” N. Shashi Gururaja, medial superintendent of the G.B. Pant Hospital, said in a statement.
Raj Bala, a resident of Gurgaon, had undergone surgery June 5 for cervical spinal injuries.
Her family blamed police for her critical condition.
“She was not injured in the stampede. She spoke to us at the LNJP (Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Narayan) Hospital, and said she was hit by a policeman during the lathicharge at the Ramlila Ground. Her condition is very critical and doctors have told us that she’s under observation and anything more can only be said after 72 hours,” Raj Bala’s daughter-in-law told IANS.
Doctors said the neurological status of Raj Bala remains unchanged and she is a quadriplegic (paralysis caused by illness or injury). The doctors have done decompression and fixation using plate, screw and cage.
