The Hindu
Delhi HC orders AIIMS to assess Jaideep Sengar's health amid claims of fake medical documents in Unnao custodial death case.
The Delhi High Court has directed the All India Institute Of Medical Sciences, Delhi, to constitute a medical board to examine Jaideep Sengar, who is seeking suspension of his 10-year jail sentence on medical grounds in the custodial death case of the Unnao rape survivor’s father.
Jaideep Sengar, aged 50, the brother of expelled BJP leader Kuldeep Sengar, sought relief on account of Stage-IV oral cancer with suspected recurrence.
The court, on February 24, observed that an independent medical assessment was necessary to ascertain Jaideep Sengar’s current health condition.
The Central Bureau of Investigation opposed the plea and contended that the medical documents produced by the convict in support of his plea were fake.
Counsel for the daughter of the deceased also opposed the grant of an interim suspension of sentence to Jaideep Sengar, fearing that he would misuse his liberty.
Listing the matter for hearing on March 2, the court asked the medical board to conduct a comprehensive evaluation and submit a report on whether Jaideep Sengar was suffering from cancer or any other life-threatening disease, and if so, at what stage.
