His twin Kalia continues to remain in neuro ICU and has shown improvement in the form of enhanced limb movement.

Kalia had undergone plastic surgery at AIIMS on November 4 to remove the unhealthy part of the skin flap on his skull. The twins were separated on October 26 following a 16-hour marathon surgery.

The plastic surgery was performed by a team of doctors, including Deepak Kumar Gupta, professor of neurosurgery; Maneesh Singhal, HOD of plastics, re-constructive and burns surgery at AIIMS; and Rajeev Sharma, assistant professor of neurosurgery.
