KOLKATA: The 77-year-old man, whose spinal cervical vertebrae had got severely damaged after being caught in a mid-air turbulence on a Mumbai- Kolkata Vistara flight on June 7, was released from the hospital on Wednesday night following a cord compression surgery.
Timir Baran Das, a former official of Food Corporation of India, will remain bedridden for at least a year, said doctors. He was admitted to Charnock Hospital on VIP Road.
Das, a resident of Tollygunge in south Kolkata, was flying to Kolkata with his son Subha — who had recovered from Covid-19 and also barely escaped a devastating fire at a Mumbai hospital’s ICU cabin — on June 7 when the flight was caught in a turbulence.
