Sanjeevan's memory loss may not last, says dad

 

Anti-crime activist R Sanjeevan's memory loss may not be permanent and he may start recalling things as time goes by, his father P Ramakrishnan said.

“The doctors are saying it is still in the beginning stage, so it may take some time, maybe another week or ten days. It may be even later, but better late than never,” he said when contacted.

Ramakrishnan (left) said that at present, his son, who regained conciousness from a 10-day coma last week after being gunned down, cannot even recognise his parents.

“He does not know his mother or his father, but we remind him about it. I am just happy that he is out of danger, we can remind him of other things,” he said.

He added that although conscious, Sanjeevan, who heads the NGO MyWatch still cannot talk as a tube is connected to his throat.

“He communicates through sign language. We write things, like A B C D, and he shows us which one,” he said.

He added that doctors are still unsure when Sanjeevan can leave the hospital.

Police previously said that they needed to speak to Sanjeevan in their investigations into his shooting, and were waiting for him to regain conciousness.

Sanjeevan, who is also a PKR member, had previously claimed that several police officers were involved with crime syndicates.
