Soon after the accident, I immediately took the driver and a women passenger to Kokilaben Ambani Hospital where they are recuperating.” He added, “I will take care of the medical expenses of the injured people. The lady, a widow, is now better and likely to be discharged today, while the driver of the auto-rickshaw is undergoing treatment and is responding to medical help provided by the hospital.”
