Bharatiya Janata Party MP from Patan Liladhar Vaghela 84 sustained severe injuries including rib fracture when he was attacked reportedly by a cow near his residence.
According to reports, the Lok Sabha MP was out for a walk in sector 21, Gandhinagar, when the stray cow attacked him.
The MP’s son, Harshad Vaghela said, “My father is likely to remain in the hospital for another three-four days. Looking at his age, doctors have not put any plaster or bandage on his body. The injuries will heal with time.”
Patan BJP MP Liladhar Vaghela was admitted in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Apollo Hospital with serious rib injuries after he was hit by a cow outside his residence in Gandhinagar on Thursday.
“My father was walking outside our house (in Sector 21) around 3.30 pm on Thursday he was hit by a cow. He fell down and could not get up. Two boys, working in a laboratory, saw him and rushed to help. My wife also joined them and the trio helped him sit on a chair. We took him to Gandhinagar Civil hospital where an X-ray report showed multiple fractures in the ribs. We later shifted him to Apollo Hospital” Harshad told Indian Express.
In a statement released on Friday, Apollo Hospital said the 84-year-old MP had suffered “multiple rib injuries”. “In view of his pre-existing comorbidities and advancing age, he was admitted in ICU and appropriate treatment has started. The patient is currently stable and is undergoing treatment,” the hospital said.
Harshad later said, “My father is likely to remain in the hospital for another three-four days. Looking at his age, doctors have not put any plaster or bandage on his body. The injuries will heal with time.”
भाजपा के सांसद को गाय ने ऐसी टक्कर मारी कि उनकी पसलियां टूट गईं और उन्हें आईसीयू में भर्ती कराना पड़ा। संतोषजनक खबर यह है कि इस घटना में गाय को कोई चोट नहीं आई है और वह सही सलामत है।
