Although Sarabjit’s family of four—wife Sukhbir Kaur, sister Dalbir Kaur and two daughters Swapandeep and Poonam—were granted visa on a priority basis by Pakistan on Saturday, the Indian prisoner who was a victim of a violent attack on Friday at Lahore’s Kot Lakhpat Jail is in deep coma.
INN Pakistan sources quoted one of the doctors at Lahore’s Jinnah Hospital where Sarabjit is on life support system in the intensive care unit, “Singh was diagnosed on Saturday with 3/15 glasow coma scale (GCS); that elaborates upon his critical state of conscious level.” Sources reported that “the GCS was a neurological scale aimed at assessing level of consciousness after profound head injury and the reading of 3/15 indicated deep unconsciousness”.
Meanwhile, neuro experts from different Pakistani medical establishments are trying hard to save Sarabjit.
Senior neurosurgeon and principal of Post-Graduate Medical Institute, Anjum Habib Vohra; head of Jinnah Hospital’s neuro department, Zafar Chaudhry; and neuro physician of King Edward Medical University, Naeem Kasuri are taking care of the injured Indian prisoner.
As per reports available from different sources, Sarabjit’s critical condition does not allow a surgery to be performed on him.
