Muzaffarpur Shelter Home case: A medical team arrives at Shaheed Khudiram Bose Central Jail for the medical examination of accused Brajesh Thakur, who is currently lodged there.


Thakur has been lodged in hospital for slip disc, high blood sugar levels, and fluctuating blood pressure that can lead to a heart attack.


"If doctors say keep him in jail hospital, what can we do? He may have done any crime, but that does not mean we do not give him proper treatment. That is his right. What if he dies then you will say he died as part of some conspiracy, Muzaffarpur Jail Superintendent, Rajiv Kumar Jha told the Economic Times.


Brajesh Thakur, who is the prime accused in the case is a newspaper owner, a local power broker and the man who ran the shelter where the 34 girls, most of them children, were allegedly sexually assaulted.
