HC asks AIIMS to set up board for assessing cancer claim as CBI questions medical docus
THE Delhi High Court has directed AIIMS to constitute a medical board to find out if Unnao rape case convict Kuldeep Sengar’s brother Jaideep—convicted in the custodial death case of the victim’s father, has cancer, after the CBI flagged his “fake” medical bills.
A bench of justices Navin Chawla and Ravinder Dudeja issued the direction while hearing arguments on Jaideep Singh Sengar’s plea seeking extension of his interim bail on account of Stage IV oral cancer.
The bench said an independent medical assessment was necessary to ascertain his current health condition.
The bench passed the order on February 24, after the CBI expressed doubt about Jaideep’s claim that he has cancer, alleging that several medical documents filed by him were fake.
