Sidhu taken to Patiala hospital for medical check-up
Sidhu had moved an application before the court of the Patiala chief judicial magistrate (CJM) on Saturday seeking permission for a special diet due to his medical problems and health issues.
Former Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) president Navjot Singh Sidhu, who is undergoing rigorous imprisonment in Patiala Central Jail in a 1988 road rage case, was taken to Rajindra Hospital in Patiala on Monday for a thorough medical check-up.
Sidhu had moved an application before the court of the Patiala chief judicial magistrate (CJM) on Saturday seeking permission for a special diet due to his medical problems and health issues. The court of CJM Amit Malhan had ordered the constitution of a board of doctors to examine Sidhu and submit a report on Monday.
Sidhu had surrendered before a court in Patiala on Friday evening and was later sent to jail after the Supreme Court awarded him one year in jail while deciding a review petition on a 1988 road rage case where 65-year-old Gurnam Singh had died after being assaulted over a parking dispute.
