“Six additional batteries were taken to ensure the machines ran fine during the flight. Her blood pressure fell to around 80 on route which we finally managed to bring back to normal. The injuries were horrendous,” said Dr Mehta, who had accompanied the girl to Singapore hospital.
Dr Mehta also added that Nirbhaya's organs weren't fit for donation as they were seriously infected.
“We spoke to the family very frankly last night. We told her father and brothers that she is critical and might not pull through. Her family was stoic and handled the eventuality in a very mature way,” Dr Mehta said.
