KOLKATA: Twists and turns after the arrest and judicial custody of three Trinamool seniors — MLA Madan Mitra and cabinet ministers Firhad Hakim and Subrata Mukherjee — and former Kolkata mayor Sovan Chatterjee in the Narada sting case continued on Tuesday.
Barring Hakim, the other three complained of breathlessness within a few hours of stay behind bars at Presidency Correctional Home. All three were admitted to SSKM Hospital’s Woodburn ward — two in the wee hours of Tuesday and another one a few hours later.
Family members and senior leaders who visited the hospital on Tuesday said all three leaders were put on oxygen support and that they were stable. Madan Mitra, who has recently recovered from Covid-19, complained of chest pain as well.
Jail officials said around 3am, Mitra, Mukherjee and Chatterjee complained of breathlessness. They were brought to SSKM around 3.45am. While Mitra and Chatterjee were admitted, Mukherjee (76) was sent back to the correctional home after check-up. Around 10.30am, he again complained of uneasiness and this time, he was admitted at the hospital. Later, he was put on a nebulizer.
Cabinet minister Hakim broke into tears while getting into the car on his way to the correctional home.
