Complications were seen in Mahato’s eye due to excess blood sugar level and high blood pressure, said Dr Sanjaya Gupta at Biratnagar Eye Hospital, Chairman of agitating Sadbhawana Party, Rajendra Mahato, has serious vision disorder in his left eye because his retinal vein has ruptured, a doctor attending on him said on Friday. “The problem was the result of excessive increase in blood pressure and hypertension attack,” said Dr Gupta.

Mahato, who was injured in a clash with security personnel while staging sit-in at Biratnagar-Jogbani border, had gone to Indian Capital New Delhi for treatment after his sugar and blood pressure level increased. Mahato’s health condition had relapsed last week after he returned from New Delhi after a long stay for treatment.He went to Biratnagar Eye Hospital where specialist doctors checked Mahato’s eyes under close observation. “Now we have given medicines to him. It may require a surgery, if his eye condition doesn’t improve.”
