In a letter to Team Anna member Neeraj Kumar, Additional Commissioner of Police (New Delhi)
K C Dwivedi said doctors have advised that Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and
Gopal Rai need immediate medical intervention and be shifted to a
hospital.
The
fast of the three activists entered eighth day on Wednesday and their
health has worsened with doctors advising their hospitalisation.
However,
Anna Hazare and Kejriwal saw a conspiracy to take the activists to
hospital to end the stir for a strong Lokpal and warned that they would
not negotiate with the government if the activists are forcibly removed.
Kejriwal
also said that it is the responsibility of the supporters to ensure
that he should be out of hospital in case of forcible eviction. The
letter to Team Anna came following the tough stand taken by activists.
Dwivedi
said their continued fasting, resistance to accepting medical
intervention and announcing from the dais at Jantar Mantar that there
would be dire consequences following their forcible removal is not as
per the terms and conditions that were mutually agreed upon and may lead
to adverse law and order situation.
"You
are advised to follow the doctors' recommendation and take steps for
immediate hospitalisation of Arvind Kejriwal, Gopal Rai and Manish
Sisodia to prevent harm to their lives and well-being failing which you
would be squarely responsible for any untoward incident," the letter
said.
Dwivedi pointed out that Team Anna has given an undertaking on 7th July that they will abide by all lawful directions by any police officer at any stage of the agitation.
"Being
the organiser of this agitation, it would be your responsibility to
ensure the well-being of the persons sitting on fast," the letter to
Kumar said.
Dwivedi also said that Dr Vivek Arya and Dr Kanika of Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital and Dr Vipin Mittal and Dr Atul Gupta, attending to fasting activists, have examined Hazare and three other activists.
"Today,
Dr T S Sidhu, the Medical Superintendent of RML, forwarded the medical
reports of Dr Arya for the past two days. This team of doctors has
advised that Kejriwal, Rai and Sisodia need immediate medical
intervention of a hospital and should, therefore, be shifted to one. Dr T
S Sidhu has endorsed this view," the letter said.
After
the letter was sent to Team Anna, activist Shazia Ilmi alleged that
they have information that Kejriwal will be taken by force in the night.
However, police denied the allegation.
