Jeetu
Verma, known for his negative roles in many Bollywood projects, is at present
struggling for his eyesight at Aditya Jyot Eye Hospital. Jeetu was injured
after he was attacked by a gang of robbers during a visit to Mount Abu with
wife Kusum Verma.
The couple had
gone to take part in the summer festival held at Mount Abu; a celebration of
folk and classical music of Rajasthan. After attending the fest, the couple was
on their way to Chittoor when the horrible attack took place.

In an exclusive
conversation with SpotboyE, the actor’s wife Kusum revealed that the actor was
seriously injured and is hospitalised. She revealed the details of the attack.
“We had
left from Abu at 9.30 pm in the night; we were on the road, it was
around 10.30 pm and we had stopped by the Dilwara village. And
suddenly our car was pelted with stones. It was after few seconds we learned
that it was tribals who were bombarding us with huge rocks! The stones were
rolling from the cliff and the driver was unable to save us. It was a big rock
that broke the glass and directly hit Jeetu in the eye,” said Kusum.
“I had heard about the attacks and how the tribals, who are highway robbers, but to experience a life threatening event was horrifying,” she added.
The actor was immediately rushed to Global Hospital in Mount Abu. The couple approached the police to file a FIR but the cops did not help. “The cop themselves were afraid to visit that zone. When we asked them to file the FIR, they laid an unusual demand; asking us to travel all the way back to the unsafe location to explain what really happened. It wasn’t possible for us to travel all the way back and risk our lives again. As a result, no action was taken against the criminals. But we will file the complaint here once my husband recovers” she added.

The couple
returned to Mumbai on 29th and immediately rushed to the Aditya
Jyot Hospital in Wadala. The actor’s eye is severely injured with 10 stitches
near his eyebrows. The operation was done today and the doctors revealed that
his retina is injured.
“He is going to
be in the hospital for few more days and the second operation will take place tomorrow,”
Kusum added.
Jeetu Verma was
a popular face in Bollywood. He has successfully played the negative roles in
many films like Sapoot, Soldier, Tarzaan-The Wonder Car, No Problem, Bol
Bachchan and Son of Sardaar. We hope that the actor recovers soon!
