Court issues notice to police on Munna Bajrangi's plea

A court here today issued a notice to Delhi police on a plea of inter-state gangster Munna Bajrangi seeking all his medical records since his arrest from Mumbai in October last year.
    
Chief metropolitan magistrate Kaveri Baweja also sought a reply tomorrow from Tihar jail authorities, where the accused was lodged, on his application in this regard.
    
Bajrangi's counsel filed an application in the court saying all his medical records prepared following his arrest on October 29 should be handed over to him. He submitted the accused was suffering from several ailments.
    
Bajrangi, whose real name is Prem Prakash Singh, had earlier sought his treatment at AIIMS alleging he was not being properly treated at DDU hospital. He had submitted there was persistent pain caused by a bullet lodged in his body.
    
But the court had on December 23 dismissed his plea on after the medical superintendent of DDU Hospital, in a report, submitted the accused was suffering from hypertension which could be adequately treated there.
    
The report also said the accused, who was advised twice to get himself admitted, did not follow the doctors' opinion.
    
Bajrangi, accused of killing a UP BJP MLA in 2005, was arrested on the charge of making an extortion demand from a city businessman.
    
He, along with others, was also booked under stringent MCOCA for allegedly running an organised criminal gang.
