Police has so far not been able to question the 35-year-old legislator, who was shifted to AIIMS today.
Within hours of being remanded in police custody, Kumar complained of headache and chest pain due to high blood pressure and was admitted to Lal Bahadur Shastri (LBS) Hospital at Khicharipur in East Delhi last night.
"He was admitted to LBS hospital at around 9 PM after he complained of ill health. Now he is being shifted to AIIMS for further treatment," said Sanjay Beniwal, Jt Commissioner of Eastern Range.
"He complained of headache, chest pain and palpitation following which doctors conducted several tests which include ECG and Troponin T tests primarily performed to diagnose a heart attack and rule out other conditions with similar signs and symptoms.
"He was kept at LBS the entire night under observation. Today morning at around 10.30 AM we referred him to AIIMS and he was shifted there," said a senior doctor at LBS.
Kumar was yesterday arrested in connection with a cheating and land grabbing case and remanded by a court in two days police custody.
