Bullet removed from Tiger Shroff firing victim at KEM Hospital
The Story in Brief
Mankhurd-based vlogger Umesh Chauhan, 34, underwent surgery at KEM Hospital on Tuesday (20 October) to remove a 1.5 cm bullet two days after he was shot during an attack on actor Tiger Shroff’s car near Juhu’s Pushpa Park. Doctors at the civic-run hospital monitored him for internal bleeding and damage to vital organs before proceeding with a two-hour extraction through a small incision.
The bullet entered his lower left chest, passed through the liver, grazed the lung and struck a right-side rib before lodging in the back muscle near the spine. Dr Uday Jadhav, head of cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, said the bullet’s deflection prevented a fatal injury. Dr Harish Pathak, dean of KEM Hospital, said the bullet’s heat during firing would have sterilised it. Chauhan, a father of a five-year-old and expecting another child, is likely to be discharged in about a week. Three suspects, including a minor, have been held in Rajasthan and were planning to flee to Nepal, police said.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three reports are straight news-agency style pieces that stick to the clinical facts of the shooting and the medical response. The Express and Times of India offer detailed medical explanations of the bullet's path and the rationale for delayed surgery, while Hindustan Times focuses at publication time on the victim being hemodynamically stable. Where the sources differ is in their timeframe: the HT story from Monday describes ongoing monitoring, while the Express and TOI stories from Thursday confirm the successful surgery. The uniform absence of any political or official framing means the coverage is purely factual. The concrete close is the victim's expected discharge in about a week, per the TOI's source.
