The three commuters who fell off a running train near Sion railway station on Friday morning, continue to receive treatment at Sion Hospital on Saturday.
While 21-year-old Sachin Sharma and 29-year-old Afzal Chaudhary are stable and have been shifted for care in the male ward, 37-year-old Kaisar Mendi is critical. “Kaisar has been intubated and is in critical condition. He had a severe abdominal injury and fracture in the right elbow. A Hemopneumothorax has been observed as well. He has been intubated and in critical condition as he is unable to breathe on his own,” informed chief medical officer in duty Dr Shubham Singh.
Explaining Sharma and Chaudhary’ situation, Singh told Sunday mid-day, “Afzal has an injury on scalp and a fracture in right arm. He is stable. Sachin has a Contused Lacerated Wound (CLW) in head. While Afzal’ scalp has suffered degloving (traumatic wound to soft tissue), Sachin’s left knee has suffered the same. However, both are stable and have been shifted to wards from the emergency ward.”
Meanwhile, Zaheen Mehndi, Kaisar’s sister, mentioned that Kaiser was on his way to CSMT to buy a few items for their shop. “He left home as usual. We did not even imagine something like this would happen. His wife is a homemaker and they have a three-year-old son,” she said. Denying the police’s initial theory that the incident was the result of a quarrel or a fight, elder brother of Afzal, Akhlaq said, “My brother has never gotten into even a small argument. We do not agree with what the police are saying.”
