Bangalore: Former Karnataka Chief Minster BS Yeddyurappa, arrested in an alleged land scam case, on Wednesday returned to jail after he was discharged from a state run hospital.
68-year-old Yeddyurappa, shifted from the Jayadeva Institute of Cardiology to Victoria hospital on Tuesday, insisted upon the doctors that he be discharged, apparently upset over adverse media reports about his hospital hopping to avoid prison stay.
Soon after Yeddyurappa reached the Parappana Agrahara jail, he was subjected to medical tests.
Yeddyurappa preferred to stay in the cell and has not been admitted to the hospital (in the jail), DIG prisons, Lakshminarayana said. (PTI)
