After a legal battle, he was taken to Kauvery Hospital as he was advised to undergo a bypass surgery. He has been under observation from a team of doctors.
Tamil Nadu BJP state secretary SG Suryah was arrested by the Madurai district cybercrime police in Chennai on the intervening night of Friday and Saturday.
Though DMK fights BJP's clampdown on its leader, the party has sent a recommendation to Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi with the view of awarding the portfolios held by Senthil Balaji to some other ministers.
After ED's raids and drive to arrest Senthil Balaji, the state ruling party has strengthened its accusation against the BJP regime, that eventually was seen in MK Stalin's decision to withdraw the general consent to CBI.
While it was initially reported that the minister would be in the hospital for two to three days, the advice for bypass surgery would extend his hospitalization.
Besides sharing a picture, MK Stalin had also come down heavily on the ED by stating that the central agency has harassed Senthil Balaji, though he agreed to cooperate with the inquiry.
Our sources say that the minister needs to be in hospital for two to three days and his faction is beefing up preparations to approach the court to curb ED from arresting him.
