CPI-M leader and former MLA, P Jayarajan, who has been lodged in jail here in connection with the attack on an RSS activist in 2014, was admitted to an Ayurveda hospital today after he complained of inflammation and pain in his legs and hands, police said.
Jayarajan, Kannur district Secretary of CPI(M), was shifted to the hospital following the advise of doctors who checked him at the Kannur Jail.
CBI had in January listed Jayarajan as an accused and framed charges against him under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in connection with the case.
Manoj (42), an RSS district functionary, was hacked to death in politically-volatile Kathiroor in Kannur district on September 1, 2014, allegedly by a group of CPI(M) workers.
Jayarajan has been lodged in the Kannur central jail after his bailwas rejected by the Kerala High Court on February 12 following his surrender in the District Session court here.
Meanwhile, the District Sessions Judge V K Anilkumar deferred the decision on Jayarajan's bail application for tomorrow.
The arguments over the bail plea before the court had been completed on Saturday last.
