Injured teen recuperating as parents ask people to pray for him: Srinagar, May 04: (GNS) Outside the intensive care unit in one of the oldest medical facilities in Kashmir, Bilal Ahmad Kinoo takes several rounds in the corridor. Intermittently, he peeps through the glass door of the ward to check on his son Momin Bilal admitted in the SMHS hospital in Srinagar. And when visitors arrive, Bilal accompanies them to the window pane where from Momins bed is visible and explains his health condition. Doctors told me we will have to amputate Momins finger so we need your signature. I signed. They amputated his finger and then handed over to me, he explains. The family buried the sixteen-year-olds amputated finger in their ancestral ancestral graveyard at Saraf Kadal. Momin was injured in forces firing on Wednesday evening when groups of protesters clashed with police. As polls for Srinagar Lok Sabha Constituency concluded on Wednesday evening, the Forces resorted to firing in Old Citys Nawa Kadal after clashes erupted in the area. The firing left Bashir Ahmad Bhat dead while several others including a woman and Momin were injured.Momin who hails from Maharaj Gunj was hit by bullets in his both hands. Due to excessive bleeding and shock, he went into coma and was put on life supporting system. Doctors have amputated a finger in his left hand. Momins father, who is an auto driver by profession, has only desire to see his son safe. Please pray for his recovery, he says to everyone, who comes to see his son including journalists. Though Momin is recovering gradually and doctors are hopeful about his full recovery but Bilal is worried about his sons amputated fingers. Doctors say that Momin can be rehabilitated. If four fingers of a patient are amputated, then an artificial hand is provided to the patient. But, in Momins case, he can be rehabilitated.
