Meanwhile, RIMS authority said that Sanjita suffered massive brain haemorrhage (bleeding in the brain) and is currently in very critical condition with ventilator and inotropic support, a treatment that uses drugs to help the heart pump more blood and oxygen to the body.

Sanjita, originally from Uripok Huidrom Leikai, got married to Naorem Deepak of Singjamei Makha Kakwa Naorem Leikai on May 28 last year.

She is nine months pregnant with due date of October 22.According to her husband, on Wednesday, during a violent clash between protestors and security forces in Kakwa area, a tear gas shell fell just outside her room around 11 pm.

She experienced traumatic shock from the sudden blast of the tear gas shell and also had trouble breathing due to smoke inhalation.

About four hours later, she started experiencing dizziness and vomiting and consequently rushed to RIMS hospital around 5 pm.

At that time, she was fully conscious and she took BP tablet by herself.

After administering some medicines, she told her family members that she wanted to lie down.

Shortly after, she lost consciousness and was taken to the ICU.

Deepak further said that their first child, the foetus inside Sanjita's womb had lost pulses as per doctors.

However, they have not issued death certificate or official confirmation as of now.

Neither have they removed the foetus.

Doctors told him that they could not do anything but to wait for any sign of improvement from the current treatment being provided to her, Deepak said while questioning the treatment plan if they have admitted that they could do nothing.

Stating that he does not know what to do, he urged for public help.
