Arjun Murali, a +2 student from Ernakulam, Kerala met with a road accident while he was walking home in the evening of Saturday 2nd April 2016. He and the fellow biker who caused the accident left bleeding on the busy road for hours neglected by the passers-by and a noble autorikshaw driver had to come and help them to reach nearby Medical Trust Hospital after more than couple of hours. Arjun sustained head injuries in the accident and the doctor treated him suggested that hospitalisation in time would have helped Arjun to retain his normal life. He was admitted into the intensive care for over a month and further 3 months in the same hospital. Mr. Murali, the dad of Arjun,who is an autorikshaw driver finds very difficult to cope with the exorbitant medical expenses as he has already spent over Rs. 10 lakhs for his son’s treatment. As such, Arjun is undergoing treatment at home with regular physiotherapy and other treatment and the family is looking for more fund to carry out another surgery to recover Arjun to normalcy.
