Bengaluru stampede: Most people get discharged, in-patients out of danger
Bengaluru(PTI): Most of those injured in the stampede occurred outside the Chinnasamy Stadium in Bengaluru were discharged from hospitals and a few still being treated are out of danger, hospital authorities said on Thursday.
At Bowring and Lady Curzon Hospital in Bengaluru, of the 10 patients admitted, only two are still being treated said Medical Superindent on Thursday.
Eighteen patients in total were treated at the hospital after the stampede at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, said T Kemparaju, Medical Superintendent.
Speaking to PTI, Kemparaju said the patients at his hospital were mostly treated for minor scrapes, breathing difficulty and anxiety.
“We are still treating a patient who had fractured his leg after he fell down and another 14-year-old boy for a minor injury. Because the injury is near his right eye, he is kept under observation,” added Kemparaju.
The boy’s mother Farheen said he is most likely to be discharged by tomorrow.
She said her son is scared and confused about what really happened.
Boy’s uncle Nawaz said they had no idea he was going for the victory parade.
“He just told us that he would be hanging out with his friends. It seems he was walking towards the Chinnaswamy stadium when he fell and lost conscious. We were then informed by the hospital that he was already admitted there,” said Nawaz.
Of the 16 patients brought to the Vydehi super specialty hospital, four were brought dead and others were admitted and only two are still under observation, a hospital spokesperson said on Thursday.
A hospital source said even though patients suffered minor injuries, as they are still under shock, neurology department is keeping them under observation.

PM Modi, myself don't have 'wife issue': Rahul Gandhi
New Delhi (PTI): In a friendly banter, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Friday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and he didn’t have "the wife issue", as the Congress MP emphasised that everyone has learnt from women in their lives.
Participating in a debate in the Lok Sabha on the three bills introduced for amendments to the women's quota law and setting up a delimitation commission, Gandhi said women are a driving force in the national imagination and national perspective.
"All of us in this room have been influenced, taught, and have learnt a lot from women in our lives – from mothers, sisters, wives," Gandhi said.
"Of course, the prime minister and myself don't have the wife issue, so we don't get that input, but we have our mothers and sisters," he said while referring to Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju's light-hearted remark that he got a scolding at home as he did not pen a poem for his wife like Union minister Arjun Ram Meghwal did.
Gandhi also lauded his sister and Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi's speech in the Lok Sabha on Thursday.
"Yesterday, I was watching my sister achieve in five minutes what I have not been able to do in 20 years of my political career – make Amit Shah Ji smile," Gandhi said to peals of laughter.
