Chiyan said- 'My leg was swollen and my pulse had stopped. They did not know what to do in the government hospital, they said let's amputate his leg. In those days, if you had an accident, it was a police case. So you had to take that person to the government hospital. They did not have the tools to amputate my leg. So I was taken to a private hospital and some magic happened. They took out blood and my pulse came back.'
