Pune: The alleged kingpin in multi-crore fake stamp case, Abdul Karim Telgi, who is in the midst of making confession in a stamp seizure case of 1995 in Mumbai, was admitted to the Sassoon General Hospital again today (Feb 11 2006).

According to Rajendra Dhamane, Suprintendent of Yerawada Central Jail, where he is lodged, Telgi was taken to hospital for a routine check-up. However, if it was felt necessary by the doctors that Telgi may be admitted.

A three-member team of doctors from the hospital on the direction of the Special Court in Mumbai, hearing the case, had yesterday conducted a medical check-up of the accused in his egg-shaped cell the Yerawada Central Jail, where he has been lodged for the last three years since being shifted here from Bangalore prison.

Telgi was earlier admitted to Sassoon General Hospital on Wednesday morning after he complained of chest pain and was discharged in the evening despite protests that he was not feeling okay. He had told doctors that he was seized by giddiness and was feeling weak.

The doctors said that it was important to monitor for at least eight days the sugar level and blood pressure of Telgi, who is a HIV positive patient and afflicted with other ailments.

Telgi, in his two days of inconclusive in-camera confession before Pune's Chief Judicial Magistrate D W Modak, had recorded around 83 pages of statement on February 6 and 7.
