In addition to the spinal injury, Khan had two other deep wounds — one on his left wrist and another on the right side of his neck. These injuries were addressed by the plastic surgery team, led by Dr Leena Jain.
Khan is currently stable and recovering, and is expected to remain in the ICU for the next day. Doctors anticipate he may be discharged within a few days.
