The picture of the NCP leader seen sitting on a wheelchair was clicked at Mumbai's St George's hospital. He was arrested in a money-laundering by the Enforcement Directorate about a month ago.
Before being brought to the St George's Hospital for a dental & routine checkup, Bhujbal was lodged in Arthur Road Jail. Last week he complained of severe chest pain and high blood pressure and was admitted to the hospital’s ICU wing.
Meanwhile, a probe into Bhujbal's admission to St George instead of the mandated JJ Hospital (also govt-run) has revealed that a doctor at the Arthur Road Jail manipulated papers to help the jailed leader.
Dr Rahul Ghule, accused of fudging Bhujbal's case papers, was subsequently shifted out of the Arthur Road jail and sent back to the state Health department and strict action was recommended against him.
Bipin Kumar Singh, IG Prisons, said that Bhujbal was supposed to go to St George Hospital for a dental treatment, but Ghule changed medical papers and recommended that he be admitted there for some other reason.
