Details on the Sukhram case

Former Union Minister Sukhram, convicted in a 1993 telecom scam and ordered to surrender, has slipped into a state of coma, his counsel today told a Delhi Court which deferred the matter for tomorrow.

"He has gone into coma, he cannot move from hospital," his counsel told Special CBI Judge Dharmesh Sharma. Sukhram, 86, was directed by the Supreme Court to surrender before the trial court yesterday but he avoided the
same citing medical reasons. His counsel had submitted that Sukhram was hospitalised after undergoing computerised tomography (CT) angiography.

Special Judge Sharma deferred the matter for tomorrow as concerned Special CBI Judge Sanjiv Jain was on leave today.
