Doctors in SMCH treated him in Casualty and was referred to Medicine Department. There, the doctors conducted medical tests and then he was referred to the Department of Psychiatry. Sources in Silchar Medical College and Hospital informed that his condition is stable. “Investigation is going on, he has been admitted to the Department of Psychiatry with symptoms of hyperventilation.

His X-Ray and CT Scan reports are awaited. According to sources, the management at SMCH will involve a medical board if Sanju Nahata’s behaviour is found suspicious.
