Amar Singh files plea to go abroad for treatment












New Delhi:  Amar Singh has been arrested in connection with the cash-for-votes scam. He was shifted from Tihar jail to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) as his medical condition deteriorated.

Mr Singh's lawyer says he needs immediate medical care. The judge will decide on the plea tomorrow.

Medical reports submitted to the high court stated that the 55-year old, suffering from diabetes, underwent a renal transplant in September 2009 and intestinal surgery 10 years ago. 

Amar Singh is on an extended interim bail till September 27. 

He and two former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MPs, Faggan Singh Kulaste and Mahavir Singh Bhagora, were arrested on September 6 for their alleged involvement in an attempt to bribe MPs ahead of the July 2008 trust vote in Parliament.
