Malviya Nagar hotel fire: Delhi HC seeks report on hotel owner’s health

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday sought a report from the Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital here regarding the health of the jailed owner of a Malviya Nagar hotel where a fire claimed 23 lives in June.

The court passed the order on a plea by Mr. Lovkesh Bajaj seeking interim bail in the case on the grounds that he was suffering from intestinal obstructions and his condition was “serious”.

Noting that Mr. Bajaj was admitted in the hospital since August 24, the court called for a comprehensive report form RML Hospital. It listed the matter for hearing on Wednesday.
