PANCHKULA 20 Nov(PTI): Soon after his arrest, self-styled ‘godman’ Rampal was taken for a mandatory medical examination here during which his health parameters were found “stable”.
63-year-old Rampal, who had refused to appear in court in a contempt case claiming he was unwell, was arrested last night from his Satlok Ashram after a two-week long stand off in Hisar’s Barwala town. He was later brought to Panchkula Government hospital in Haryana in an ambulance from Barwala well past mid-night after traveling nearly 220 kms.
Immediately on arrival, doctors at the government health institution in Sector 6 here conducted tests on him.
Dr Rajesh of the Civil Hospital told reporters that the godman’s overall health parameters appeared “stable”.
After he was brought to the Panchkula hospital, Rampal, who had a shawl wrapped around his body and his head covered, walked out of the ambulance on his own to enter the health institution for the mandatory medical examination.
