The 19-year-old Pipili gangrape victim has remote possibility of recovering fully despite treatment, an expert said after examining her at a hospital on Thursday.
"Although appropriate treatment is now being provided to the girl at the hospital here, she has remote chances of getting fully cured," Bhabani Shankar Das, former director of National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (Nimhans), said.
He made the observation after examining her and perusing her clinical examination reports in the SCB Medical College Hospital here.
"I am given to understand that the incident took place more than seven weeks ago and the improvement shown by the patient till date is not satisfactory. She is opening her eyes a little but there is no movement of her limbs. This is due to lack of oxygen in her brain," Das said.
The hospital authority had sought the service of Das for consultation. The hospital is also in touch with AIIMS, New Delhi.
