New Delhi: Former Delhi minister Kapil Mishra on Saturday alleged that the police were trying to “forcibly” take him to hospital based on “fake reports” given by doctors, just a day before he was planning to make another “expose”.
He claimed that the report of his health is “faked” by the doctors, who were directly reporting to health minister Satyendar Jain, even as a team of doctors from Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) hospital on late Saturday night examined Mishra and said his vitals, including blood pressure and sugar level, were normal.
“Before tomorrow’s expose, they are spreading fake news and trying to divert attention. It is a ploy to end my hunger strike,” Mishra said in a tweet. “Doctors gave fake report. They report directly to health minister Satyendar Jain,” he stated in another tweet.
Mishra, who was recently sacked from Delhi cabinet, had started an indefinite hunger strike on Wednesday demanding Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) divulged details of foreign tours undertaken by five of its leaders.
Doctors had yesterday advised hospitalisation to Mishra due to drop in blood sugar level and dehydration.
Mishra also asked the Delhi police commissioner to not take actions based on “fake reports”.
“Sir @CPDelhi, Please don’t do this just based on a fake report. I am fighting for a big cause. It’s a conspiracy,” the MLA said in a tweet.
In a late night development, a team of a team of doctors from RML hospital examined Mishra and said his vitals, including blood sugar level, pulse, blood pressure, is normal.
However, he had mild dehydration which is due to no salt intake since last 4 days, the doctors said, adding it was a case of “starvation ketosis”.
Meanwhile, police officials reached Mishra’s house to take him to hospital but he remained adamant on not going with them.
“Kapil Mishra is adamant to not leave his house before he holds a press conference at 11 AM on Sunday.
He has gone inside his house saying he wants to meditate,” a source said. Earlier, a team of doctors from Aruna Asaf Ali hospital had examined him in the afternoon and evening and advised his hospitalisation. (PTI)
