Amaravati, May 16: The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Sunday directed that rebel Narsapuram MP, K. Raghurama Krishnam Raju, be shifted from Guntur district jail to a private hospital.
After receiving a report from a lower court about the nature of MP’s injuries, the high court took up the hearing and directed that he be shifted to the Ramesh Hospital.
Counsel of the rebel YSRCP MP told the court that its orders that doctors from Ramesh Hospital examine his injuries were ignored. He argued that CID officials met the petitioner when he was in custody, thus violating the law. After hearing the arguments, the high court directed that the MP be immediately shifted to the hospital.
Meanwhile, Raju’s wife Rama alleged that her husband’s life is in danger in jail.
She stated that if anything happens to him, the state government, the Chief Minister, and CID will be responsible.
Earlier, police shifted Raju to the district jail amid high drama.
He was taken out of the Government General Hospital (GGH) from the rear gate and was shifted to jail.
The high court had on Saturday constituted three-member Medical Board headed by Superintendent of GGH, Guntur to examine the nature of injuries of Raju. (IANS)
