A day after Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor was arrested for an “illegal” fast unto death and released on bail, he was on Tuesday found to be suffering from dehydration and was hospitalised for a comprehensive medical check-up.

Party leaders took Kishor to a private healthcare facility in Patna in an ambulance after a doctor visited him at his home and advised hospitalisation. “There are certain medical issues that need to be thoroughly examined. He is suffering from infection and dehydration. He is also weak and feeling discomfort,” said the doctor.
