BENGALURU: Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board’s (KIADB) chief development officer T R Swamy, whose home was raided by the Anti-corruption Bureau (ACB) on Friday, reportedly suffered a mild heart attack on Saturday night and was admitted to a private hospital on Cunningham Road.
Swamy reportedly complained of chest pain on Saturday night, following which he was admitted to Fortis Hospital. His relatives were present in the hospital on Sunday. He was kept in the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) of the hospital, where usually patients with cardiac problems are admitted.
Although the hospital confirmed Swamy’s admission on Saturday night, it did not confirm the nature of his ailment.
Swamy has been asked to appear before the ACB on Tuesday.
