Tuesday, September 13, 2011: Rajya Sabha MP Amar Singh, arrested for his alleged role in 2008 cash-for-vote scam, was on Monday night admitted in All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) following a rise in keratin level in his body, Tihar jail spokesman Sunil Gupta said.
Amar Singh
was hospitalized late on Monday evening at Delhi’s AIIMS hospital, just
a day before the court is to decide on his interim bail.
The former Samajwadi party General Secretary was moved out of Tihar
Jail on Monday evening and shifted to the hospital after abnormal
functioning of the kidneys. Amar Singh
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.
Singh, 55, was admitted in the private ward of AIIMS at around 8pm, Gupta said.
“Since his keratin level was high, we decided to shift him to AIIMS”, he added. Dr S Gupta, head of the Nephrology of AIIMS, is attending on Singh.
