The condition of injured Pakistani prisoner Sanaullah Ranjay is “extremely critical” and far worse than that on Tuesday night, Indian media reported on Wednesday.
“His overall status is extremely critical, far worse than yesterday night,” a medical bulletin issued by the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) said.
“Neurologically, he continues to be in deep coma,” the bulletin issued by Professor S N Mathuriya, Head of Neurosurgery department and Professor Y K Batra of Anaesthesia, said. “The patient has become extremely critical. He has developed renal failure with no urine output since morning. Hence, he was put on peritoneal dialysis by Nephrologists,” the Indian media said.
It further said, “He had developed hypothermia (low temperature). He is in uncontrollable acidosis with arterial pH 7.06 and base deficit -19 (grossly deranged). His oxygen level is maintained at lower than the optimum level (80 percent oxygen flow). His blood pressure has been maintained on a high dose of vasopressors (an agent that causes a rise in blood pressure).”
A resident of Sialkot, 52-year-old Sanaullah Ranjay is serving a life sentence after he was convicted under TADA provisions following his arrest in 1999. He was injured in a scuffle with another inmate in the high security Kot Bhalwal jail in Jammu and rushed to the PGIMER in an air ambulance on Friday. The assault came a day after the death of an Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh who was brutally attacked by fellow inmates in Lahore’s Kot Lakhpat Jail.
