When he was busy clicking pictures, he was hit by the car. Some passersby took him to a hospital where doctors admitted him. Some initial medical reports suggested deep injuries in his right leg and both arms. As he was covered under a group travel insurance policy offered by his employer, all the medical expenses were taken care by the insurer.<\/p>\n<p>When in India, Rajiv\u2019s wife came to know about the accident, she decided to travel to Australia to be at his side who was alone in the foreign land.
