“The check-up was pending since he was brought here,” Dr D G Kulkani, of Sassoon General Hospital said here today.
Dutt has history of hypertension and has been under treatment for it, Dr Kulkarni added.
Dr Kulkarni further said there was a request from the jail authorities to conduct dutt’s medical examination in jail, since he cannot be brought to the hospital like other convicts and undertrials, being a high risk prisoner.
Dutt is undergoing his 43-month prison sentence in an Arms Act case. This is his second stint at the Yerawada jail. He was shifted to Yerawada jail from Arthur Road in Mumbai jail on May 22, Dr Kulkarni added. (UNI)
