"The condition of Mahajan continues to remain critical. He is in the intensive care unit, on ventilator and on medication to support his blood pressure," Dr Anupam Verma, director (administration) of Hinduja Hospital, said.
Mahajan was admitted to the hospital on Saturday morning after being shot at and critically wounded by his brother Praveen.
Verma said Mahajan's kidneys were functioning poorly, and he has been put on dialysis.
"His condition is being monitored closely and efforts were on to stabilise him before contemplating any intervention," Verma added.
Mahajan, being treated at the Hinduja Hospital here since shot at and critically wounded by younger brother Praveen, is still on life support system in the intensive care unit and the three bullets were yet to be removed from the body, the sources said.
After the surgery, performed by a team of doctors to deal with internal abdomen pressure, there was "improvement" in vital parameters. Stevan Dean, an ortho trauma specialist from Australia, late last night visited Hinduja Hospital and offered his advice on Mahajan's condition, the sources said.
Senior BJP leader and former union minister Shahnawaz Hussein, who visited the hospital this morning, said he hoped that Mahajan would soon recover as the crucial 48 hours have passed safely. "Mahajan is responding to treatment and I am leaving with full confidence that he will recover. His family also looks relieved, and doctors also say that his condition has improved," he added.
