Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu, serving a year-long sentence in a Patiala jail in a 1988 road rage case involving a man’s death, was on Monday taken to a hospital there under heavy security for medical tests, official sources said. Sidhu was taken to Rajindra Hospital in Patiala following his request for a special diet in the jail owing to his health conditions, his counsel HPS Verma said. Verma said a board of doctors carried out a detailed medical examination of Sidhu at the hospital. “The board of doctors will see what special diet is required and then it will submit its report to a local court (in Patiala),” Verma said. According to the counsel, Sidhu cannot consume wheat, sugar, ‘maida’ and some other food items. “He can have berries, papaya, guava, double-toned milk and food items which do not have fibre and carbohydrates,” Verma said.
