Lance Naik Hanumanthappa Koppad, was critical on Wednesday, doctors said, as millions across the country prayed for his recovery.

The soldier was admitted at the Army Research and Referral Hospital in New Delhi. Doctors had said on Wednesday evening that his condition had worsened “despite aggressive therapy and supportive care”.

Koppad is on ventilator in the ICU, where he was admitted on Tuesday.

His wife Mahadevi and two-year-old daughter Netra, were in the hospital campus, praying for his recovery – like millions all over the country.

In Uttar Pradesh, a housewife from near Lucknow, sought to know how she can contact the hospital to donate a kidney to Koppad.

A former sailor, SS Raju, also expressed willingness to donate any organ of his body to save “fellow brother” Koppad.
