• He was flown by air ambulance to AIIMS Delhi on June 19 under a Kolkata Police green corridor after doctors described his condition as critical but stable.
• Lack of significant improvement during five days of intensive care in Kolkata prompted his medical board, family members and BJP leaders to seek advanced treatment in Delhi.
