The 69-year-old pensioner from Congo Village in Debe, who suffered serious burns after he rushed into his burning home to rescue his five-year-old grandson, has since suffered a stroke from which he is now recovering.
Jairam “Baba” Balliramsingh sustained first-degree burns on November 22, and was initially admitted to the intensive care unit at the San Fernando General Hospital. He is now recuperating at the Teaching Hospital, having suffered a stroke a few days ago.
On November 28, one of Balliramsingh’s sons, Ryan Balliramsingh, told Newsday that his father is “pulling through,” meaning he is recovering from his injuries.
