SHILLONG: The first surgery on Agnes Kharshiing that was scheduled for Monday has been postponed, said her brother John Kharshiing on Sunday.
John said the surgery has been rescheduled and the date will be announced later.
Earlier in the day, John had said the family consented to the surgery on her right elbow.
After she was admitted on November 8 with multiple wounds following the near-fatal assault, the doctors could not carry out surgery as she was not stable.
There were consultations between the family and the doctors for the last few days regarding the surgery as the family wanted to ensure her safety since there were head injuries.
According to family members, at times, Agnes’s speech is not coherent due to the pain and agony she is undergoing.
