He also defended his injured Jawan Dilip Kumar, who was seen making a fervent appeal to save his life in a video clip.
“When someone has seen a blast he could be disturbed. He is not careful about the timing and other things...the helicopter cannot fly immediately and in Gaya there was no landing facility but even then the chopper landed to pick the injured trooper. The incident happened at about 1:20 PM and the chopper was there by 2:30 PM,” Trivedi said.
The jawan, who is admitted in a critical state in Ranchi's Apollo hospital, was seen appealing to the Prime Minister, President and his DG (Trivedi) to save his life.
“I have no doctor with me...I will die...I am losing blood...I have small kids...it has been two hours but there has been no helicopter for me. I have been hit in an IED blast,” he was seen stating in the video.
