Daulatram Jogawat, the police inspector who underwent a bariatric surgery in Mumbai after being fat-shamed by writer Shobhaa De, was discharged from a nursing home in Neemuch where he was being treated for urinary tract and stomach infection.

Jogawat, a diabetic and weighs 180kg, was operated at Saifee Hospital in Mumbai by Dr Muffazal Lakdawala. He was discharged from the hospital on March 7. He was fine for a few days before developing complicati­ons. When his condition deteriorat­ed on Tuesday night, he was admitted to a nursing home in Neemuch.

“I am feeling much better now. I am on antibiotic­s. I don’t have fever anymore and have started eating,” said Jogawat.

Dr Vipul Garg who treated him said, “He was suffering from both urinary tract infection and stomach infection. His blood test reports showed that infection had spread to his blood. His white blood cell count was high, and he had weak pulse and high blood pressure, so I admitted him. He was discharged when his condition improved.”
