His left hand remains paralyzed due to the injury on the right parietal lobe of brain and that remains the major concern, according to Dr Panta, but it can regain its normal function in future.[break]
“He will be kept in ICU for a few more days,” Dr Panta added. Jamakattel had to undergo surgery in the back of his head at Norvic International Hospital in Kathmandu Saturday night after a CT scan showed deep injury and bleeding inside his head.
Jamakattel, who is close to Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal, was rushed to Norvic International Hospital after he was attacked in the back of his head with a sharp weapon at Babar Mahal Saturday evening.

He fell down immediately after the attack crying out for help.
