Bhujbal seeks release on health grounds

Bhujbal approached the HC seeking to be released on bail considering his medical condition after a special PMLA court rejected his bail plea.

Senior counsel Amit Desai, appearing for Bhujbal, argued that the 69-year-old NCP leader was suffering from a terminal illness which needs immediate and a specific line of treatment.

“His (Bhujbal) health condition is critical and needs to be dealt with at the earliest. He is suffering from a terminal illness,” Desai said.

He added that since past 25 years Bhujbal has also been suffering from various other ailments like diabetes, bronchal asthma, hyper-tension and has also undergone surgeries for heart ailments.
