Pant’s mother Saroj pants and his sister Sakshi, who arrived from London on Saturday morning, are with him in hospital, they said.
DDCA director Shyam Sharma and Bollywood actors Anil Kapoor and Anupam Kher were among those who met Pant at the hospital.
“There are no immediate plans to move him anywhere as his condition has improved significantly since yesterday,” said Umesh Kumar who has been with the family constantly at Max Hospital here.
“Plastic surgery on his forehead had been performed on Friday itself. His first dressing was also done today,” he said.
The 25-year-old, who was traveling to his hometown of Roorkee to surprise his mother, suffered head, back and foot injuries in a traffic accident on Friday morning, police said. Hospital authorities said his condition was stable.
His condition is improving, but doctors at BCCI who are in constant contact with doctors at Max Hospital will take a call to find out whether or not he should be taken elsewhere for treatment of his ligament injury, said Umesh Kumar.
