Gujarat AAP MLA Chaitar Vasava meets half brother fighting for life in hospital

After he got three days’ temporary bail from the Supreme Court, Chaitar Vasava, the incarcerated Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA from Dediapada, visited his critically ill half brother in hospital in Surat on Monday (November 2) afternoon. Chaitar Vasava’s brother Shantilal Vasava was admitted to the New Civil Hospital in the city after he allegedly attempted to kill himself by consuming pesticide on October 12.

Chaitar met the doctors attending on Shantilal in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the hospital. The doctors are learned to have told him that the patient remained critical and on life support. Under the conditions of his bail, the MLA, who has been in jail since June for alleged assault, must stay in Surat district for the entire duration of his bail period, and he must be accompanied by police wherever he goes during this period.

Chaitar’s visit to see Shantilal on Monday consequently took place in accordance with arrangements made by police. He was accompanied by the general secretary of the Gujarat AAP, Manoj Sorathiya, and several other leaders of the party, apart from police officers.
