He
underwent

almost
six
days
after
he
suffered
a

during

As
per
the
latest
report,
Raju’s
manager
has
revealed
that
the
comedian
is
responding

treatment
and
is
slowly
getting

He
further
said
that
Raju
can
now
move
his
body
parts
a
bit
and
doctors
have
informed

it
will
take
about
a
week
for
him
to
regain
consciousness.

Raju’s

Nayan
Soni
was

saying,
“Raju’s
