Captain Smit Machchhar, the Indian flydubai pilot who heroically thwarted a mid-air attack by his co-pilot on a Dubai-to-Tel Aviv flight
Inside the military hospital, you have to go about 1.5 to 2 kilometres from the main gate before reaching the hospital building itself,” he said. Because he was in another country, we were very stressed.
Jogi said Machchhar was receiving proper treatment at the military hospital, where security was also a major concern for the family. We were initially concerned about whether there would be proper security or not, but they told us that it is a military hospital. “His treatment is going on properly over there, and they are very satisfied with it. “I feel so proud. Love is being poured from everywhere. Even those who didn’t know us before are greeting us respectfully! May he come home as soon as possible. We didn’t know where they took him. Then we got to know that he is receiving treatment at the hospital. Some men from the company delivered the message to us that he is okay, but we were not satisfied.
MUMBAI: The family of Captain Smit Machchhar, the Indian flydubai pilot who was injured after allegedly being attacked by his co-pilot during a Dubai-to-Tel Aviv flight, on Saturday said he was receiving the best possible medical treatment at a secure military hospital. Most of all, we felt relieved seeing him on television yesterday and knowing that he is okay. Then yesterday, when he spoke to the Prime Minister and we saw him, we took a breath,” he said.
“He is receiving the best possible treatment, though it will take some time for him to recover. Most of his injuries are on his head and hands. When he was trying to open the door, he was being hit, which is why he suffered injuries on his hands and head in several places. He sustained injuries in multiple spots, so it will take some time to recover,” he added.
