New Delhi, Oct 21 (IANS) A court here Tuesday asked the AIIMS medical superintendent to file all the medical records of former parliamentarian Dhananjay Singh's wife Jagriti Singh, accused in a case of maid's torture and death.

The court was hearing Jagriti's plea for interim bail on the grounds of her "deteriorating medical condition".

Additional Sessions Judge Lokesh Kumar Sharma's direction came after the officer sent a report to the court that the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) could not send Jagriti's records as these were not with it.

The court has now asked the hospital to send the records on Oct 30.

Earlier, the Tihar Jail authorities told the court that AIIMS officials were not forwarding Jagriti's medical reports despite the court's order.

Jagriti's counsel and advocate Pramod Dubey has told the court that she needed to undergo gall bladder surgery due to her deteriorating medical condition.

Dhananjay, accused along with his wife in connection with the alleged murder of their maid, was charge-sheeted Feb 1 for various offences, including destroying evidence and abetting murder and attempt to murder.
