CHANDIGARH: Pakistani prisoner Sanaullah Ranjay, who was injured in a scuffle with another inmate in a Jammu jail, was on ventilator at PGIMER here and his condition was critical.

The 52-year-old prisoner was unconscious, put on ventilator and his overall condition was critical, a PGIMER spokesperson said here.

Sanaullah, who was brought to PGIMER from Jammu last evening, is being looked after by a team of neurosurgeons and other doctors at PGIMER's Intensive Care Unit.

Earlier, a medical bulletin said the prisoner's urine appeared to be adequate and "further treatment will depend on his stabilisation and neurological status".

A team of Pakistani High Commission officials visited Sanaullah at the PGIMER after India granted consular access to them last night.

The officials again visited the hospital and were in touch with the doctors for regular update on the prisoner's condition.
