“Do you feel pain?” Yogi asked the toddler and as she reacted to the query he said, “Would you like to have a chocolate,” and handed over one to her.

The CM spent about 15-minutes talking to the little girl, her mother and doctors, inquiring about her health and medical facilities.

“The girl is stable and presently under observation. She still has a bullet inside her body which we will take out after planning, on the basis of her condition,” said Prof Sandip Tiwari, head, trauma surgery at KGMU. “Free treatment is being provided to her. The chief minister has also assured her parents that she would be given the best treatment. He has asked the university to inform the government if anything is needed for the treatment,” Tiwari said.
