Military hosp checks YSRC MP’s health
Hyderabad: A three-member medical board at the military hospital, Secunderabad examined Narasapuram MP K Raghu Ramakrishna Raju on Monday night and sent its findings in a sealed cover to the Telangana high court on Tuesday.
The Supreme Court had asked the hospital to examine the rebel YSRC MP after he had accused the Andhra Pradesh police of custodial torture.
Raju has been arrested on charges of sedition by the state CID. The high court, it is learnt, has dispatched the sealed cover to the apex court through a special messenger.
The military hospital authorities confirmed that Raju was brought to them on the night of May 17. “We admitted him to the hospital after procedural formalities,” the authorities said in a statement. “The medical examination was conducted by a medical board of three doctors of our hospital in presence of a judicial officer nominated by the Chief Justice of Telangana high court during the night of 17 May 2021 under videography.”
The MP is now under medical care at the hospital. The Supreme Court has said that his stay will be treated as judicial custody. “We are performing our tasks under strict Covid-19 medical protocols,” the hospital statement said.
The AP CID has booked the MP on its own on the ground that he was allegedly spreading disaffection against the state government through concerted false propaganda.
