IPOH: The 10-year-old boy who was shot by a stray bullet successfully underwent an operation to remove a bullet from his head.
A team of doctors conducted the operation which lasted over an hour on Mohd Amar Mohd Azizi at the Raja Permaisuri Bainun hospital on Sunday.
Sources said the boy was recuperating after the operation.
"It is a success. Thank God all went on well," said the source.
It was reported on Wednesday that a off duty policeman was cleaning the pistol at the time of the incident.
This led the weapon to misfire which left the bullet to be lodged at his throat.
