A day after two Taiwanese nationals were injured by gunmen in the Walled City of Delhi, one of them undergoing treatment for bullet injuries at the Lok Nayak Jaya Prakash Narayan Hospital here was discharged on Monday while the condition of the other was reported to be stable.

While 40-year-old Zewei, who had a miraculous escape as the bullet grazed his head, was discharged from the hospital at 4.15 p.m., the second patient, Chiang, 38, who underwent a four-hour-long operation after being hit by a bullet in his abdomen was reported to be “stable but critical,” according to Medical Superintendant Amit Bannerjee.

“Since Zewei, who was treated for minor head injury, did not wish to speak to the media he was sent off through the back gate after being discharged. Chiang has gained consciousness and is stable as his pulse and blood pressure have returned to normal. But he is still critical as his body has undergone the trauma of a major surgery.”
