My wife plucks minute glass pieces from my body: Kriti Ajmera

Even after 24 years of the 1993 bomb blast, Malad-based Kriti Ajmera can't sleep on his right side. Reason? The right side of his body which got injured after the glass pieces at Bombay Stock Exchange pierced into his body.

So far, Ajmera has undergone 40 operations to remove the glass pieces; and has 90 stitches on his face. But the ordeal is not over, still there are minute glass pieces all over his body, which automatically pop out any time.

"For over six years I was admitted in a hospital. Even now, I can't sleep or stress on the right side of my body. My face, right hand, lungs were damaged in the blast. My body movement is restricted. While laughing I can't loud, as glass pieces in my mouth start poking. I can't undergo operation for every minute piece that pops out; sometimes with a help of plucker my wife pulls out glass pieces from my body," he added.

In the past 24 years, he has spent over Rs 40 lakh in operations and other medical expenses. He claims that he has not received any help from government. He says rather than giving life imprisonment, every offender should be hang till death.
