Balaji, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in a cash-for-jobs scam last week, was initially admitted to a government hospital and later shifted to the private facility following a court order.
Health Minister Ma Subramanian said on Tuesday that the arrested Tamil Nadu Health Minister Senthil Balaji will undergo surgery for a heart-related disease at a private hospital here on June 21.
Balaji, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in a cash-for-jobs scam last week, was initially admitted to a government hospital and later shifted to a private facility on the basis of a court order.
“Since the surgery has to be done compulsorily at Senthil Balaji, it will be done tomorrow,” Subramanian told reporters here.
He said the minister was unaware of the “critical obstruction” before it was diagnosed last week by government doctors.
On June 14, Balaji underwent a coronary angiogram and was advised to undergo bypass surgery “as soon as possible,” according to Kuvri Hospital, which treats him.
