The Supreme Court (SC), today, has ordered the Unnao rape survivor and her lawyer, who had been critically injured after being rammed by a truck in Rae Bareli, are to be airlifted to AIIMS in Delhi.
The top court's notification to shift the survivor to AIIMS comes after her doctors, on Saturday, described her condition as "critical but stable". The doctors also said she had contracted pneumonia.
An official letter from the hospital said, "The Unnao rape survivor (is) conscious… improving. She is following instructions and her eyes are open. Her fever has lessened. The process of taking her off ventilator has started. Blood pressure continues to be a concern."
As per the hospital authorities, the lawyer, who had also been admitted to the same hospital as the rape survivor, is also improving.
