Former Union Minister Sukh Ram today did not surrender before a Delhi court to serve his three-year jail term in a 1993 graft case citing medical grounds, even as his co-accused Runu Ghosh and P Rama Rao submitted themselves to the law to serve their sentences. 

Sukh Ram, 86, cited medical reasons for not surrendering as his counsel told Special CBI Judge that the veteran politician has undergone angiography owing to his cardiac ailments and is hospitalised. 

The judge said Sukh Ram's plea that he be taken into judicial custody at the hospital itself will be heard tomorrow by concerned Special CBI Judge Sanjiv Jain, who was on leave today.
