Ashoke Pandit Says Raju Srivastava Has Not Regained Consciousness & His Family Requests Not To Spread Rumours

Raju
Srivastava
is
currently
being
treated
at
the
All
India
Institute
of
Medical
Sciences
(AIIMS)
in
New
Delhi.
The
comedian
had
suffered
a
heart
attack,
post
which
he
slipped
into
a
coma.
A
few
days
ago,
it
was
said
that
his
condition
deteriorated
and
that
he
was
brain
dead
and
his
heart
was
also
not
functioning
properly.
But
later
Srivastava’s
wife
Shikha
and
brother
Deepu
said
that
he
is
stable
and
showing
improvement,
although
he
had
not
regained
consciousness.
His
fellow
comedian
and
friend
Sunil
Pal
had
claimed
that
Raju
might
be
removed
from
the
ventilator,
but
his
brother
dismissed
the
report.

The
latest
report
states
that
Raju
Srivastava
has
regained
consciousness
after
being
in
coma
for
almost
15
days.
However,
filmmaker
and
president
of
the
Indian
Film
&
Television
Directors’
Association
Ashoke
Pandit
has
said
that
the
news
is
not
true.

His
personal
secretary
Garvit
Narang
told
ANI
that
Raju’s
health
condition
is
improving
but
he
is
being
monitored
by
doctors.
ANI
quoted
Garvit
as
saying,
“Raju
Srivastava
gained
consciousness
today
after
15
days,
he’s
being
monitored
by
doctors
at
AIIMS
Delhi.
His
health
condition
is
improving.”

But
Pandit
took
to
Twitter
and
mentioned
that
Raju’s
family
told
him
that
although
there
is
a
bit
of
improvement
in
his
health,
he
has
not
regained
consciousness.
He
also
added
that
Raju’s
family
has
requested
the
members
of
the
film
industry
not
to
spread
rumours.

Ashoke
Pandit
tweeted,
“#RajuSrivastav
‘s
family
tells
me
that
though
there’s
bit
of
improvement
in
his
health
he
has
not
gained
consciousness.
The
news
going
around
is
false.
They
also
have
requested
the
members
of
the
film
industry
not
to
spread
rumours
as
it
creates
lots
of
confusion.”

On
the
other
hand,
Raju’s
nephew
Kushal
Srivastava
too
said
that
he
has
not
regained
consciousness
and
added
that
he
has
just
opened
his
eyes
a
couple
of
times
and
also
moved
his
hands.

Kushal
was
quoted
by
ETimes
TV
as
saying,
“Raju
ji’s
health
is
improving
but
the
reports
of
him
gaining
consciousness
are
untrue.
He
has
opened
his
eyes
a
couple
of
times
and
also
moved
his
hands,
but
that
is
not
enough
for
us,
we
want
him
to
recover
completely.
His
health
is
gradually
getting
better
and
the
doctors
are
also
saying
that
recovery
will
take
time.
He
is
still
on
a
ventilator
and
doctors
want
him
to
take
him
out
of
it,
but
there
are
no
such
immediate
plans.
They
are
waiting
for
his
health
to
improve
more.
The
progress
is
not
enough
for
the
doctors
to
remove
the
life
support.
His
organs
are
responding
well
to
the
treatment.”
