Speaking to mid-day, Bilal said, "Officials from the company had come to visit me. On seeing my condition, they asked me when would I be able to rejoin. On coming to know that the doctor has prescribed me six weeks of bed rest, they asked me to leave the job as it wasn't possible for them to wait that long." He further said, "I was getting a salary of Rs 14,000 per month while my younger sister earns Rs 12,000 a month as a teacher. Both of us were supporting the family and taking care of our father's medical expenses. He is admitted at Jaslok Hospital."
"After completing my graduation, I started preparing for the civil services entrance. I took up a marketing job to support my family and education as well. But now, as I have become dependent on my family, I'll have to wait a lot more to fulfill my dream," he added.
