According to inputs from Bipin Kusulia, the secretary to Ajit Jogi, Amit was rushed to a private Jabalpur hospital. Sources in the hospital revealed that a blood clot was found in Amit's right eye and is feared to lose sight in his left eye. His hands and other parts have sustained injuries as well.
The Chhattisgarh CM is making plans to airlift his son to New Delhi for advanced medical attention as suggested by doctors in Jabalpur.
