Sirsa-based Dera Sacha Sauda head Gurmeet Ram Rahim was taken from Sunaria jail in Rohtak district to Delhi for a medical examination on Tuesday morning.

The dera chief is undergoing imprisonment after being convicted and sentenced for the rape of two of his women disciples and murder of journalist Ram Chander Chhatrapati.

He has been suffering from hypertension and diabetes and was taken to Rohtak PGIMS after he complained of dizziness and restlessness owing to fluctuation in his blood pressure in May.

He was examined by a board of doctors and was discharged as no major health issues were detected in his medical examination then.

The dera head was taken to the PGIMS again in June after he complained of abdominal pain. He underwent CT-Angiography, CT Scan (abdomen) and Fibroscan for liver.

A suspected mass lesion had been detected in his pancreas and he was advised PET scan to ascertain whether the lesion was benign or malignant (cancerous). Following that, he was taken to Medanta hospital in Gurugram.
