IDUKKI: The condition of the seven-year-old boy attacked brutally by his mother’s live-in partner in Thodupuzha, continues to be critical. The child is still in the ventilator and battling for life. The functioning of the child’s brain has stopped completely. As the other organs of the body are functioning, the medical board decided to keep the boy in the ventilator itself. He is treated as per the instructions of an expert team of doctors from Kottayam Medical College.

The boy was admitted at the hospital in Kolencherry last Thursday. He was subjected for an operation that day itself. The government is meeting the expenses of the boy.
