Bhanwari Devi is missing since September 1 and Maderna is the main suspect in the case.

On a request by CBI,which wanted the opinion of experts on his health so that it could resume his questioning in the case,a three-member medical team was formed recently to examine the health of Maderna.

His loyalists and family members wanted to take him to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences,New Delhi for ‘better treatment’ but the CBI wanted its justification. So the report of the medical team was forwarded to the AIIMS.
