It was not immediately clear as to how long Senthil Balaji will be in the hospital.

Following his arrest, last year Balaji had been hospitalised a couple of times and he underwent a bypass surgery at a private hospital.

A sessions court here had on July 18 scheduled framing of charges on July 22 in the money laundering case against Senthil Balaji, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on June 14, 2023.

Principal Sessions Judge S Alli had directed the prosecution to produce Senthil Balaji in person before the court on July 22 for framing of charges. His bail pleas had been dismissed by the Madras High Court and the sessions court as well.
