Tihar Jail sent a misleading report on Amar Singh’s medical condition
NEW DELHI: On Tuesday the Rajya Sabha MP’s lawyer in the court claimed that Tihar Jail sent a misleading report on Amar Singh’s medical condition, during the hearing on his bail petition.
Singh’s lawyer told Special Judge Sangita Dhingra Sehgal in the Tees Hazari Court, “Most newspaper reports suggest his creatinine levels are high. His own doctor has said that his condition is life threatening. The court should ask Tihar authorities to inform the court about his medical condition immediately.”
According to Tihar jail spokesman Sunil Gupta, Monday night Amar Singh was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) following a rise in creatinine level in his body.
He is a diabetic and also claims to be suffering from a urinary tract infection, these are also the grounds on which he is seeking bail and the matter comes up for hearing later on Tuesday.
In connection with the 2008 cash-for-vote scam the former Samajwadi Party general secretary has been arrested on September 6.
