Zeseweiu (27) who had a miraculous escape as the bullet only grazed his head left the hospital this evening.
One of the two Taiwanese nationals injured in the firing incident near the historic Jama Masjid in the city was discharged from hospital today.
Zeseweiu (27) who had a miraculous escape as the bullet only grazed his head left the hospital this evening.
"He was discharged today at 4.12pm. We had kept him under observation for 24 hours and after our doctors found him out of danger, he was allowed to go. He was not willing to speak to the media," Amit Banerjee, medical superintendent of LNJP Hospital, said.
"Credit goes to the driver who without any fear rushed the injured to the hospital," he said.
The other injured Chiang, who is now in the ICU after suffering a bullet injury in the abdomen and immediately operated upon, will have to stay under observation for some more days, Banerjee said.
However, a doctor treating Chiang who does not want to be named said his condition is still "not stable".
Meanwhile, the government instructed the hospital authorities to provide all needed facilities for the injured foreign nationals.
"The chief minister asked us to make available Taiwanese food to the patients. Since they do not understand English language, interpreters have been brought in to facilitate communication," Banerjee said.
Keeping in mind the safety of the patients, even the VIPS were not allowed to meet the patient. BJP leader Rajnath Singh and Vijay Kumar Goel, health minister Kiran Walia, chief minister Sheila Dixit and home minister P Chidambaram, none of them were allowed to enter the ICU and interact with the patients, the medical superintendent said.
Meanwhile, other patients and their relatives who came to the hospital had a tough time due to the tight security arrangements.
"No vehicle is being permitted inside the hospital premises. I was asked to drop my wife at the gate and park it at some distance in order to get access to treatment. She had a serious injury in her leg and had to walk a long distance before she could reach the doctor's chamber," a patient's relative said.
Another lady from Manipur whose father is undergoing treatment said, "The media which is assembled here to get a glimpse of those injured is running after every individual with squinted eyes thinking them to be a relative of those injured. I was followed from the gates till the entry to the emergency and I had to tell them that I was in no way related to the injured."
