BHOPAL: A trial court in Damoh has remanded Narendra Yadav alias N John Camm to judicial custody till May 1.
Yadav has been arrested for allegedly carrying out unauthorised cardiac surgeries at Mission Hospital in Damoh, and causing the death of seven patients. He was in police custody since being nabbed in Prayagraj, 380km from Damoh, on April 7.
Following the end of his police remand, he was produced in court at 4:30pm on Friday. He had earlier been presented in court on Thursday, after which his remand was extended by a day.
Upon exiting the court on Friday, Yadav told reporters, "I have full faith in police and the court. The allegations about my degree are completely false. Everything is as per the rules. My family is currently abroad."
Yadav's lawyer, Sachin Nayak, informed the court that police interrogation had been completed and that the physical presence of his client was no longer necessary. He requested the court to allow Yadav to appear via video conferencing in future hearings and sought permission for the accused to use his mobile phone.
Additional district public prosecutor (ADPO) Sanjay Rawat said that the accused's mobile phone had been sent for forensic examination. He added that decisions regarding video conferencing or direct court appearances would be made in accordance with the jail manual.
On Thursday night, Yadav experienced vomiting and uneasiness around 11pm and was taken to the district hospital, where doctors found that his blood pressure was elevated. He was discharged once his condition stabilized. Yadav is said to be on regular medication for hypertension, but no other health conditions have been identified, say sources.
