He also said that his arrest by Enforcement Directorate (ED) was not as per the procedures established by law.<\/p>\n<p>Bhujbal, whose stay at the private-run Bombay Hospital here since November 2 prompted criticism that he was receiving preferential treatment, was discharged from there on December 8 and sent back to the government-run J J Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>An intervention application filed by activist Anjali Damania had said it was &#8220;sheer negligence of duty&#8221; by J J Hospital and Arthur Road jail that Bhujbal was in Bombay Hospital since November 2.<\/p>\n<p>On October 27, special judge P R Bhavake had allowed Bhujbal to be taken to a private hospital after he was told that a Thallium scan, one of the three tests recommended for Bhujbal, was not available at the government hospital.<\/p>\n<p>On October 28, prison authorities took Bhujbal to government-run J J Hospital for the other two tests. He was then transferred to Bombay Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Bhujbal was arrested on March 14 by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the Maharashtra Sadan scam and Kalina land case in which he and his relatives were alleged to have received kickbacks.
