Falak was brought to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences’ (AIIMS) Trauma Centre in an unconsciousness state with injury marks all over her body by a 15-year-old girl who claimed to be her mother.
“She has been unconsciousness since the day she was admitted but she is showing signs of recovering,” Sumit Sinha, an associate professor of neurosurgery and one of the doctors treating Falak, told IANS.
“She has a fractured skull and there is blood clotting on the right side of her brain. It appears that either her head was smashed against a wall or suffered a blow from a heavy object. Her left hand is fractured and there are human bite marks all over her face, forehead and right leg,” he added.
