Arora, through his counsel, submitted before the court of Justice Neena Bansal Krishna on Tuesday that he “is suffering from life-threatening diseases”. According to medical records submitted by him, on August 16, he was brought to the clinic with a complaint of breathlessness with cough, dyspnea on exertion, and fever and was referred to be admitted. He was then taken to a hospital and advised oxygen and admission.

The court issued notice to the ED, which sought time to verify the medical records. In the interim, granted interim bail to Arora till the next date of hearing, scheduled for August 30, upon furnishing a personal bond and a surety of Rs 2 lakh each.
