"His (Soumitra) condition has actually deteriorated. His neurological condition is worst in the whole period of his stay. It deteriorated within the last 48 hours. We did an EEG but there is quite little activity within the mind itself," he said.
The neuro board will be closely monitoring Soumitra for another 24 hours. "As of this moment the problem is grim but maybe by God's grace he'll emerge from this", the physician said, reports Hindustan Times. On the positive side, there's been no bleeding while his liver function and other parameters are stable, the physician said in the bulletin."
