Yeddyurappa’s counsel Ravi Naik moved the petition on his behalf after the Lokayukta special court rejected his bail plea and sent the Bharatiya Janata Party leader to jail till Oct 22. The High Court had on Aug 29 rejected Yeddyurappa’s anticipatory bail plea.
68-year-old Yeddyurappa, who was arrested and sent to jail on Oct 15, complained of "discomfort" in the chest and was rushed to Jayadeva Institute of Cardiology, where he is under observation in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for 48 hours.
Dr CN Manjunath, heading the five-member team attending on Yeddyurappa, said that the former CM is also suffering from high blood pressure and some urinary problems, adding that ECG and blood tests have already been conducted on Yeddyurappa who suffered a mild stroke two months ago.
An angiogram would also be conducted soon, Dr Manjunath added.
The Special Lokayukta court had on Oct 15 rejected Yeddyurappa's bail plea and issued an arrest warrant against the former chief minister, who has been facing allegations of denotifying government land in violation of laws when he was the Chief Minister.
Yeddyurappa then surrendered before the court and was remanded to judicial custody till October 22.
