AAP leader and former Delhi minister Satyendar Jain was admitted to the Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital in New Delhi after he collapsed in Tihar Jail due to dizziness on Thursday, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said.
“Satyendar Jain has been admitted to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital. He collapsed due to dizziness in bathroom of Tihar Jail. Even before this, Satyendar Jain had fallen in the bathroom and had a serious spinal injury,” the AAP said, reported PTI.
Prison officials said that at around 6 AM today, he had slipped in the bathroom of MI Room of the hospital of CJ-7, where he was kept under observation for general weakness.
“He was examined by the doctors. Vitals were normal. He was further referred to DDU Hospital as he complained about pain in his back, left leg and shoulder,” said Prison officials.
The former health minister was taken to Safdarjung Hospital as he was feeling unwell on Monday.
In May last year, he was arrested by Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money-laundering case, which was based on a CBI FIR lodged against the AAP leader in 2017 under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
