Mridul Bakshi, Salesman
There is not a part in Mridul's body that has not suffered injuries in the blast at the Delhi High Court on Wednesday. The explosion, near gate no. 5 of the court, ripped open his belly. There are shrapnel wounds all over his face, hands and legs. Mridul's head was battered severely as he fell on the floor, severely damaging his brain.
He has been operated upon four times by doctors at RML Hospital since he was brought there, three times on his brain and once on his belly. Still, he has not regained consciousness.
Briefly, his eyes moved. But that was it. "We still don't know what his condition is. Nothing can be said as of now," relative Ravinder Bakshi said.
Mridul's relatives say it took long for doctors to remove the shrapnel from his body, one of which was lodged in his skull just behind the right ear.

In the worst case, doctors could amputate his right leg. The explosion at the Delhi High Court also ruptured his ear drums.
Mukesh was standing in a queue of 100-200 people at the security counter near gate no. 5 of the court when the bomb kept inside a briefcase went off. Like the others, he was waiting to collect an entry pass so that he could enter the court premises.
A friend who was with him at the time had a lucky escape. Minutes before the blast, his friend had offered to stand in for him after Mukesh said he was feeling thirsty. But he refused.
"His friend escaped with minor injuries. But Mukesh was not as lucky. He has suffered severe wounds on several parts of his body and is now facing the prospect of losing one of his legs. The blast has ruined his life," elder brother Sudhir said.
