NEW DELHI: Delhi high court has ordered the setting up of a medical board to evaluate the condition of RJD chief Lalu Prasad’s close aide Amit Katyal, who sought interim bail on medical grounds in a money laundering case linked to the alleged land-for-jobs scam in the Indian Railways.
HC said while the report from the jail did not indicate any “underlying medical condition,” the accused recently had a bariatric surgery. It, therefore, asked the AIIMS director to constitute a team of doctors from minimum three different specialties to ascertain the nature of ailments Katyal is suffering from.
The court added that after the evaluation of medical records and examination of the accused, the medical board shall furnish a report on or before June 14.
