Sudha Bharadwaj, 58, accused in the Bhima Koregaon case lodged at Byculla jail, has diabetes and ischemic disease, says a medical report submitted by the jail authorities in the Bombay High Court on Thursday. Medical officer of the Mumbai Byculla District Jail submitted the report before a division bench of justices S.S. Shinde and S.P. She was arrested on August 28, 2018 from her house at Faridabad and was at Yerwada jail earlier before being moved to Byculla jail. The High Court had on July 10 asked for a medical report after examining Ms Bharadwaj and another report on social distancing and conditions inside Byculla jail. A medical report was submitted by the jail superintendent on July 20, but the court found it to be illegible.
