Rahul
Mahajan case: Sharma, Ganesh get bail
New
Delhi: The Tughlaq Road Police Station on Wednesday granted
bail to former secretary of late BJP leader Pramod Mahajan,
Harish Sharma and Ganesh who is a member of Mahajan's household
arrested in the Rahul Mahajan drug abuse case. The Police
granted bail to Sharma and Ganesh on a personal surety of
Rs 50,000 each and have asked them to be available for interrogation
whenever required. The police arrested Sharma and Ganesh on
Tuesday on charges of tampering with evidence in the case
by ordering the removal of champagne bottles and cleaning
of the Mahajan's 7, Safdarjung Road residence on June 2. Rahul
and Pramod Mahajan's Private Secretary Bibek Moitra were rushed
to the New Delhi's Apollo hospital on June 2 after they were
found unconscious allegedly after consuming drugs at the Mahajan
residence. Moitra was declared brought dead at the Apollo
hospital.
The
police on Tuesday questioned Sharma on why he took Rahul and
Moitra to Apollo instead of AIIMS, which is closer to Mahajan's
residence. Meanwhile, the second report of the CFSL has confirmed
the presence of heroin in Rahul's blood samples and vomit
of Sahil. Police is waiting for Moitra's viscera report. Reports
said that Police are also likely to take Sahil Zaroo, who
allegedly supplied drugs to Rahul and Moitra, to Srinagar
for further investigatino. A Delhi Police team is tracking
Sahil's Mumbai links. For the second day today, the Police
questioned the doctors of Apollo hospital regarding the medical
condition of Rahul at the time of admission to the hospital
on June 2 and the treatment administered to him. Apollo Hospital
had bungled on its medical report at first saying there were
no traces of drugs in Rahul's body and contradicting it within
24 hours, saying traces of drugs were found in Rahul's urine,
though they were within permissible limits.
Apollo
director refutes 'resignation' story
New
Delhi: Apollo Medical Director Dr. Anupam Sibal refuted
television news channel's "breaking story" of his resignation
from his post. Speaking to ANI, Dr. Sibal clarified: "There
is not an iota of truth that I have resigned", adding "Why
should I? I have no intention of doing such thing". Some private
television news channel "broke the news" that Dr. Sibal has
resigned churning rumours of some pressure being exerted by
the hospital on Dr. Sibal to quit. Dr. Sibal had come under
cloud over alleged misrepresentation and suppression of facts
relating to Rahul Mahajan's medico-legal case. Apollo Hospital
officials too denied Dr. Sibal's resignation, adding that
rumours were generated to tarnish the hospital's image. Meanwhile,
the viscera report of Bibek Moitra has confirmed the presence
of heroin and cocaine.
