HYDERABAD: A mishap involving the ambulance in which YS Jaganmohan Reddy was to have been brought out of the jail delayed the process of him being shifted to the hospital by 45 minutes.
Two staff of the Chanchalguda prison were injured in the mishap when the vehicle rammed into a tree near the inner gate of the prison. Both the staff had to be rushed to a corporate hospital at Malakpet to be treated for injuries they suffered. The new Maruti Eeco ambulance also got damaged.
The plan was to shift the fasting Jaganmohan Reddy from the prison at 11pm to the Osmania Hospital on Thursday. However, one of the staff members who drove the vehicle, with another staff member sitting beside him, rammed it into a huge tree close by. The windshield of the vehicle broke and one of the front tyres of the vehicle also got damaged.
With the plan to shift Jagan going awry because of the mishap, prison authorities immediately got another ambulance from the Special Prison for Women which is in front of the jail and used it to transport Jaganmohan Reddy.
The barrack in which Jagan is kept is quite a distance from the gate of the jail. Since he had been fasting for five days, prison authorities did not want to make him walk all the way from his barrack.
According to sources, when prison authorities informed him that he was being shifted to the hospital because of his deteriorating health condition, the YSR CP leader told them that he did not want to break his indefinite fast. Though Jagan told the jail authorities that they should not shift him, seeing the contingent of officers and men, he did not physically resist when they asked him to sit in the vehicle.
In the vehicle, they brought him to the gate of the prison and from there he was made to get into a bullet proof vehicle to be taken to the jail.
YS Jaganmohan Reddy has always shown disdain if any official tried to handle him physically. On one occasion in the past when he was being taken to the CBI court, when a police officer tried to place his hand on his shoulder to direct him into the vehicle, he gave him a stern look.
Even though he had been fasting for five days, Jagan reportedly refused help to get into the vehicle or get down from it.
Since he had also made an issue when jail officials had got an ordinary van to take him to the court on one occasion, this time the jail officials and police made sure they got a bullet proof scorpio to transport him to the hospital.
