Furqan remains in critical condition but is “definitely not brain dead,” according to doctors treating the patient.
“He has pulse, blood pressure and his reflexes are working. He has been put on ventilator support.” Lucknow Chief Medical Officer Narendra Agarwal acknowledged the incident and said the matter “will be thoroughly probed.”
