PTI further shared another post where a doctor at NP Rawal Hospital in Karnal said, "We don't have any documented evidence that he was dead. When he was brought to us, there was a pulse, BP and he was a little conscious. We don't know whether he was dead prior to coming here or not. He is still critical.”
