The court said that the required test is available at KEM Hospital. It directed hospital authorities to decide on Deshmukh’s required treatment and hospitalisation and sought a report. (File)A special court Friday directed that former home minister Anil Deshmukh be sent to civic-run KEM Hospital for a test for his dislocated shoulder and JJ Hospital for further treatment. The court rejected his plea to be shifted to a private hospital.
Deshmukh, arrested by the CBI and ED in connection with a corruption and money-laundering case respectively, dislocated a shoulder last month at Arthur Road Jail, where he has been lodged since November.
He had moved a plea to be shifted to a private hospital for tests and treatment.
