However, there is no improvement in the condition of her lawyer Mahendra Singh, who is still in a deep coma.
"There is an improvement in the condition of the female patient. She is following commands and opening her eyes. Her fever is also subsiding. Preparations to take her off the ventilator are underway," KGMU said in a statement.
"However, we still have to medicate her to maintain her blood pressure," it said.
