After the car accident, Pant was taken to Saksham Hospital Multispecialty and Trauma Centre for treatment. After the initial treatment, the decision was made to shift him to Max Hospital in Dehradun.

“There are no immediate plans to shift him anywhere as his condition has improved substantially since yesterday,” said Umesh Kumar who has been constantly with the family at the Max Hospital, as quoted by PTI.

“A plastic surgery on his forehead had been performed on Friday itself. Its first dressing was also done today,” he further said.

Also, he told that the BCCI doctors are in touch with Dehradun’s Max Hospital doctors and together they will make a decision on whether he should be taken elsewhere for the treatment of his ligament injury.
