Cash-for-vote scam accused Amar Singh discharged from AIIMS

New Delhi, Sun, 30 Oct 2011 ANI

New Delhi, Oct 30 (ANI): Rajya Sabha MP Amar Singh, an accused in the 2008 cash-for-vote scam, was discharged from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) here on Sunday.

 

55-year-old Singh was undergoing treatment here for infection in kidney.

 

He was brought to the hospital from Tihar Jail on September 12, following complications related to post-kidney transplant.

 

"I will try to take permission from the court to go to Singapore so the urinary tract infection (kidney infection), when I was sent to Tihar (jail) in judicial custody, got aggravated and creatinine was doubled. I am thankful to doctors of the AIIMS, who brought it to the normal level," Singh told mediapersons here.

 

In a temporary relief to Amar Singh, the Delhi High Court had on October 24 granted bail to him in the 2008 cash-for-vote case, but restrained him from leaving the country without its permission.

 

While granting bail to Singh, who was undergoing treatment at AIIMS under judicial custody, the court asked him to furnish a personal bond of Rs 50 lakh and two sureties of like amount.

 

The cash-for-votes scam had rocked proceedings in the Lok Sabha in 2008, when the ruling UPA Government, led by Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, allegedly bribed lawmakers of other parties to help wining the confidence vote. (ANI)
