The transfer from Dingko to Delhi in a Spicejet air ambulance was facilitated by the Indian Boxing Federation (BFI) after a scheduled radiation therapy session was lost due to the ongoing national blockade forced by coronavirus.
The 41-year-old man was due to undergo radiation therapy two weeks ago, but was unable to come to Delhi due to the closure.
