“Two of the nine patients were dead on arrival. The others are all stable and recovering well,” said Dr Amit Banerjee, medical superintendent at Lok Nayak.

“CT scans and other tests have also been conducted on the seven patients. None of them have suffered any severe injury and should be discharged soon,” he added.

A two-year-old girl, who was suspected to have suffered a head injury, was taken to RML.

“Her initial CT Scan and other tests have revealed no major damage. She is a case of suspected head injury, so the doctors are keeping her under observation for two more days at least,” said Dr T S Sidhu, medical superintendent at RML Hospital.
