Director General (Prisons) Sandeep Goel said that Yadav complained of uneasiness and some heart related problems on June 26.<\/p>\n

He was taken to DDU hospital, from where he was referred to LNJP hospital the same day and admitted there.<\/p>\n

Later, on his family\u2019s request, he was allowed to be shifted under police guard to a private hospital in Dwarka on June 30.<\/p>\n
