Cumbhala was rushed to Sancheti Hospital where doctors told him that he has a fracture in his leg. Later, his relatives shifted him to Noble Hospital in Hadapsar.
In another accident, a man who was seriously injured in an accident came to University Road's Hardikar hospital for treatment. He, however, was referred to Ruby Hall hospital, as he required surgery. "As the doctors were not available for surgery at that moment, we asked the patient to go to Ruby Hall hospital," said a doctor at the casualty department of Hardikar hospital.
