He also said that he would operate on the right leg as well. The family asked who would bear the expenses now. which the doctors said that they should not worry about the expenses.

Whatever the expenses are, they will pay. Also, they said that if he does not recover, he will be given all the expenses at his home. Immediately after this, 1 hour later, his right leg was also operated on. After this, he was discharged from the hospital on May 5.

Now he is neither able to walk nor do any work. Ranbir said that his whole family was wiped out in an accident on January 23, 2006. After he becomes an orphan, there is no one to take care of him. After this, neither did he receive any message from Oscar Hospital, nor was any medicine given to him, nor was he examined.
