Mohali (Punjab): Former Punjab DGP S S Virk has threatened to go on a hunger strike protesting his arrest in a disproportionate assets case.
Virk was admitted to hospital in Chandigarh on Sunday night after he complained of high blood pressure and suspected stone in the gall bladder.
He had been sent to two days' police custody after his arrest on Sunday.
Virk, a Maharashtra cadre officer, had been placed under suspension by the Prakash Singh Badal Government on the Election Commission's direction after his name cropped up in a land scam.
Virk was removed from the DGP's post ahead of the Assembly elections in the state in February. He is considered close to former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh.
The former Punjab DGP, who was under suspension, had ignored the orders of Punjab government and on Thursday, joined in his parent cadre in Maharashtra.
