Hyderabad: Doctors at Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) has filed a report to court saying that the mastermind behind Satyam scam B Ramalinga Raju's condition is alarming and he runs high risk of contracting severe infections if moved out of the hospital.

According to a report by Suresh Dharaur of Tribune News Service, the visitors' book at the hospital shows that Raju had received 270 visitors in three months. In the wake of this CBI, which is probing the Rs. 7,800 crore scam, has accused that Raju is avoiding court on grounds of feigning sickness.


The report has suggested that Raju is not well that he could not be produced before the special court which is hearing the case nor could he run the risk of facing the investigators.

According to the NIMS report, Raju is suffering from Hepatitis C, inflammation of the lungs and also heart disease and needs to stay in the hospital for a few more weeks. Citing the hospital's visitors' log, CBI said that Raju has been meeting large number of visitors in contravention of the rules and the court orders.

In the wake of CBI's doubts regarding Raju's health, the court has directed the hospital authorities to submit a detailed report about his condition. The investigating agency has filed a petition before the special court seeking his trial through video link. However, Raju, his brother and former Managing Director of Satyam Rama Raju and other accused in the scam, opposed video trial. "It is clear that Raju is avoiding trail on a false ground. When he can see so many visitors in his room and talk to them, why cannot he attend the court?" the CBI Deputy Inspector General V V Lakshminarayana said.

Raju's White Blood Corpuscle (WBC) count was much below normal and had developed complications due to anti-viral treatment, it said. The NIMS report, submitted in March, suggested that it was not possible to produce Raju in the court as his health condition was alarming. "He needs at least four to six weeks to recover from side effects caused by anti-viral treatment for Hepatitis-C. It is not advisable to take him outside the hospital," said the report submitted by Dr Ajit Kumar, Head of Gastroenterology, NIMS.

Another example of the corruption existing in the medical profession.
You can get just any certificate from them if you pay them their fees.
This is how the moneyed class escape punishment.
As soon as a warrant issued against them, they clutch the left side of their chest as if they are on the point of expiring. This is an age old trick resorted to by politicians and rich people to escape justice.
Why doesn't the judiciary do something against those people who feign illness?
Is it because they too get a cut from these criminals.
It is these in the judiciary who give the judiciary a bad name and provides fodder to the corrupt politicians to counter attack the judiciary.
Such judges and those who allow bail to criminals (who then go out and threaten witnesses, extort money and murder people subsequently) should be removed
