Veteran politician and trade union leader Arun Dey was discharged from hospital on Wednesday after treatment as clinical investigations didn’t show anything serious.
He had been admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the District Headquarters Hospital (DHH) after he complained of chest pain, shortness of breath and angina late on Tuesday evening.
Dey was not keeping well since last few days. The 75-year-old leader had last contested Assembly elections from the Baleswar Sadar constituency in 2014 on a Congress ticket but lost to Biju Janata Dal’s (BJD) Jiban Pradip Das.
The five-time legislator has won thrice on CPI ticket, once as an Independent candidate and once on now-nonexistent Odisha Gana Parishad (OGP) ticket.
