“He was saved and raced to the Behrampore Medical College and Hospital. Specialists there recognized numerous breaks and spine injury. They said that he ought to be moved to Kolkata right away. It was evening by then, at that point. We reached the IAF right away. They advised us to begin moving towards Kolkata by street with the patient while arrangements for the transport were made. At the point when we arrived at Krishnanagar, the IAF informed us that a helicopter had been doled out to get him from that point,” a senior BSF official of the South Bengal Frontier said.
In the interim, a Mi-17V5 helicopter from the 157 Helicopter Unit of the IAF, based at Barrackpore, took off with an air rescue vehicle setup with a certified clinical group ready.
“This was around evening time and we needed to land and take off from a new helipad. The accomplished pilots achieved the mission utilizing Night Vision Goggles (NVGs) and different guides. It was after 12 PM when Wani was given over to a clinical group holding up at the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata. The exchange from Krishnanagar required a couple of moments. By street, it would have required a few hours,” an IAF official said.
Constable Wani has been owned up to the state-run SSKM Hospital in Kolkata where specialists said that his wounds are significant. However, he is steady.
