Chandigarh, Oct 21: Convicted prisoner Balwant Singh Rajoana was transported from Patiala Central Jail to the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in Chandigarh under heavy police escort to receive specialized medical attention for his eye condition.
Hospital authorities examined the inmate, who has been incarcerated for over three decades following his conviction in the nineteen ninety-five assassination of former Chief Minister Beant Singh. Officials maintained that the visit was arranged to conduct medical examinations and follow-up treatment on his remaining eye, noting that a similar surgical procedure had previously been performed on his first eye.
Law enforcement agencies established stringent security protocols surrounding the medical facility during the consultation process, reflecting the high-profile nature of the inmate, whose death sentence has been affirmed by higher judicial instances.
