Shooter Saurabh Chaudhury's coach diagnosed with heart ailment; needs your support

The 43-year-old coach suffered from a stroke last week, after which he was admitted to a hospital in New Delhi. In a couple of days, he was admitted, it was discovered that his heart had a 90% blockage which is in a critical stage.

Speaking to The Bridge over a phone call, he said, "The blockage has been found in a pretty critical stage after conduction angiography of my heart. The doctors couldn't take the risk of undergoing a bypass surgery because the nerves around my heart have swollen up."

He added, "The doctors have suggested undergoing several tests again after which they will be making a decision. In the meanwhile, I had to spend over Rs 1.5 lakh for the tests, and right now, I am running short of money. I need financial support."
