Killer lawyer Rajappa still critical

General Surgeon Dr Bhaskar Pai said, poison level in Rajappa’s blood was high and hence he was not shifted from the ICU on Monday. “We will wait till the poison level reduces to free him from the ventilator,” said Dr Pai.

Hospital President Commodore Indru Wadhwani said the decision to shift him to an appropriate ward will be taken once he is removed from the ventilator.

Rajappa, who was admitted on July 8, has been tied up after he tried to assault male nurses treating him.
