A man is currently undergoing treatment at Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH) after being severely injured by a barracuda strike to his neck. The incident occurred two days ago while the man was attempting to dive from a boat at night using lights.

Details of the Incident

According to a close relative, the barracuda struck the man’s neck, causing severe damage to his main artery. The injury has reportedly left him with weakness on one side of his body. The family is now working to arrange for him to be transferred abroad for further treatment.

Current Condition

While no official confirmation has been provided by authorities, the relative confirmed that the man is receiving critical care at IGMH. The incident highlights the dangers of marine activities, particularly at night when visibility is low.

The family has appealed for support as they coordinate efforts to seek advanced medical care overseas.
