Parag is undergoing treatment at the Commandant Hospital and has been put on ventilator. Confirming that Parag was critical and was put on ventilator, Commandant Maj Gen V Ravishankar said there was a marginal improvement in his health as Parag responded to painful stimuli.
“But the cadet is yet to wake up and hence we say that he is showing a marginal improvement,” Ravishankar said. “We have recovered the metallic foreign body that was removed from the boy’s head at the Command Hospital. The hospital has also given us the injury certificate,” Joshi said.u00a0
