Cheetah was first wheeled in on February 14 at the trauma centre of the premier medical institute after being airlifted from Srinagar. Doctors attending to him said he had shown a steely resolve to respond to their intensive medical care that went on for close to about two months.

The braveheart had suffered bullet injuries in his brain, right eye, abdomen, both the arms, left hand and in the buttock region.
