New Delhi, August 2: The Supreme Court on Friday deferred shifting of the Unnao rape survivor and her lawyer to Delhi as their health condition continues to be critical. The top Court said that the duo will not be airlifted from King George Medical College at Lucknow to the national capital, adding that the treatment would continue at the Lucknow hospital. On Friday, the King George's Medical University said the condition of the injured is critical but stable. The woman is still on a ventilator while the male patient (lawyer of Unnao rape survivor) has been removed from the ventilator support.
