A special CBI court on June 10 issued a notice to the Sabarmati Central Jail authorities, in Gujarat, in connection with the provisions of providing escort to suspended IPS officer, Abhay Chudasama when he was taken to a private hospital for surgery.
Chudasama, an accused in Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case, had sought interim bail for one month for hip replacement under supervision of a private doctor. The investigating agency had opposed the plea. Ultimately, Chudasama’s counsel requested the court that he would not insist on bail, if the court allowed him to be operated under the supervision of the doctor of his choice.
CBI insisted that Chudasama should not be allowed to meet anybody during his possible stay at a private hospital. The CBI also urged the court to permit them to verify the documents submitted by Chudasama regarding medical opinion for the requirement of operation.
