Her lawyer, who was also injured in the incident, was shifted to Trauma Centre on Tuesday morning. He is critical and on advanced life support system, authorities said.
According to hospital authorities, the rape survivor is requiring medication for support of her blood pressure and is being treated by a multi-disciplinary team of doctors. Presently she remains critical, requiring ventilator support and is undergoing investigations, they said.

Delhi Traffic Police had created a green corridor on Monday to shift the rape survivor from the Indira Gandhi International Airport to the Trauma Centre, covering a distance of around 14 km in 18 minutes.
On July 30, the car in which the survivor, who has accused BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar of raping her in 2017, was hit by an over-speeding truck in Rae Bareli.
The victim and her lawyer suffered critical injuries in the accident while her two aunts died.
The CBI, which has taken over the investigation into the accident, has booked 10 people for murder, including Sengar, who is already in jail.
