Indian actor Captain Raju hospitalised in Oman

Muscat: Veteran Indian film actor, Captain Raju, is currently being treated for a stroke at Kims hospital in Oman.
He was on his way from Cochin to New York for his son’s wedding, when his son noticed that he had started slurring.
“They boarded from Cochin airport at 11am. He had a previous history of a stroke. So in the plane, when he began slurring while speaking, his son suspected a stroke,” said a Kims Hospital spokesperson.
“Then, his son spoke to the captain of Etihad Airlines, which was bound for New York via Abu Dhabi. The captain recommended an emergency landing in Muscat,” the spokesman added.
He was first taken to the KIMS hospital clinic at the Muscat International Airport and then transferred to the hospital in Darsait. His son was by his bedside at the hospital.
However, the hospital has confirmed that it isn’t a massive stroke. “The stroke had occurred on the left side of the brain, and the right side of the body is a little weak now.”
"He is slurring; he is in the ICU. We have done an MRI of the brain and we did a repeat MRI this morning. He is still in the ICU. He is on a liquid diet and the IV fluid has been started,” he revealed.
He added, “His condition is stable. He is okay as of now. He wishes to go back to India but right now he is not fit to fly. We are trying to make him fit to fly so he can go back to India. He has been accompanied by his wife and son who are staying with us now.”
