The victim who was earlier moved to the Goa Medical College and Hospital at Bambolim is now undergoing treatment at Piliem Dharbandora Hospital.
Collem PI Prajoth Fadte said efforts are on to nab the accused.
Meanwhile the Battar-Sancorda locals met Ponda DySP demanding that the accused be arrested immediately.
Locals said the DySP has promised them that the accused will be arrested in two days.
The locals claimed that the accused are influential persons and hence the police have failed to arrest them.
