However, Vidyasagar Rao continues to remain critical and on assisted respiratory



support, doctors said.

The irrigation expert is battling terminal bladder cancer, which, according to oncologists, has spread to other parts of his body, including his lungs and brain.

Doctors said that they are monitoring his condition round the clock.
