A government official arrested by the Karnataka Lokayukta was found receiving special treatment at a hospital in Mandya district -- roughly 100 km southwest of Bengaluru -- where he had been admitted despite having no medical condition requiring hospitalisation.
Mohammed Hussain, the Assistant Director of Land Records (ADLR) in Srirangapatna, was arrested by Lokayukta police in connection with an alleged illegal accounts-related case. He was supposed to be lodged in jail.
