44-year-old business tycoon and suspected drug-lord Ali Punjani, the estranged husband of actress Kim Sharma, whose sprawling bungalow in Kenya was thoroughly searched by the Mombasa police on Monday, has been admitted to Mumbai-based Asian Heart Institute where he is suspected to be undergoing cardiac treatment, a highly placed source told mid-day.

Earlier, Punjani underwent treatment at Mombasa based Heart and Lung Diagnostic Centre since July 29 following a cardiac attack and acute coronary syndrome. "An angiogram performed showed significant CAD with blocked coronary arteries. This is not amenable with angioplasty and he has been advised to undergo coronary arteries bypass grafting urgently. This has been arranged at Asian Heart institute for next week," reads a letter dated July 31 issued by Dr. N. Chaudhry, Consultant Interventional Cardiologist, Director Heart and Lung Diagnostic Centre.
