63-year-old Rampal, who had refused to appear in court in a contempt case claiming he was unwell, was arrested last night from his Satlok Ashram after a two-week long stand off in Hisar's Barwala town. He was later brought to Panchkula Government hospital in Haryana in an ambulance from Barwala well past mid-night after traveling nearly 220 kms.
Immediately on arrival, doctors at the government health institution in Sector 6 here conducted tests on him.
Dr Rajesh of the Civil Hospital told reporters that the godman's overall health parameters appeared "stable".
