Senior NCP leader and ex minister Chhagan Bhujbal, granted bail in a money laundering case was today discharged from the civic-run KEM hospital in Mumbai where he underwent treatment for nearly a week. The hospital authorities said they decided to discharge Bhujbal as his medical reports were fine.
Bhujbal, who is in jail since March 2016 in connection with the money laundering case, was granted bail on May 4 by the Bombay High Court after it took into consideration his old age and deteriorating health. He was later admitted to the KEM hospital after he was released from the Arthur Road Jail. Bhujbal, who handled the Public Works Department in the Congress-NCP government, was arrested in March 2016 after the Enforcement Directorate found in an inquiry that he allegedly misused his office in awarding contracts for PWD projects, causing a loss to the exchequer.
