Former Minister Raghunath Mohanty (62), who has been lodged in the Baleswar Jail since Saturday in connection with the dowry torture case brought out by his daughter-in-law Barsa Swony Choudhury, is undergoing treatment in the jail hospital following shooting up of his blood pressure and pulse rate.
Sources said he was shifted to the hospital in the jail campus on Sunday afternoon after his BP and pulse rate were found more than the normal.
