Bengaluru: Roshan Baig shifted to Jayadeva hospital

BENGALURU: Former Congress minister Roshan Baig, who was arrested by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with the multi-crore I Monetary Advisory scam, was shifted to Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research on Thursday.
Baig, who was in Central Prison and remanded in CBI custody on Wednesday, had told the authorities about his heart-related ailments. He was kept under medical observation in jail. Later, doctors sought medical opinion of cardiologists at Jayadeva Institute before shifting him there, sources said.
Dr CN Manjunath, director of Jayadeva Institute, said Baig had undergone an angiogram in 2016, which showed blockage in three blood vessels. “He was on medication and has been admitted for evaluation. He will undergo an angiogram again to check the status of his blood vessels,” Dr Manjunath added.
