Surgery of injured police horse Shaktiman has concluded and it has been fitted with a prosthetic limb in Dehradun. Doctors said the amputation surgery was successful.

"Shaktiman is standing, so I think the operation has been successful. Long term success is yet to be seen," Dr Khambata of the team which carried out the operation said.

The horse's amputation surgery took place two days after its fractures were fixed by external fixation by a group of 10 doctors -- six from Pantnagar and four district veterinary officers.

Earlier in the day, the Dehradun Police informed that the condition of Shaktiman had deteriorated.
