Sameer Ali Ibrahim Sayyed alias Dicky, the man who allegedly killed five people when he rammed his car into them in Crawford market a couple of months ago, seemed to have received special treatment at JJ Hospital where he was taken for treatment from Taloja jail last week. Sources tell mid-day all rules were flouted during his stay at the hospital where he was not in handcuffs, got to meet family and had home-cooked food.

Superintendent of Taloja jail, Kaustubh Kurlekar, confirmed to mid-day that Sameer was sent to JJ hospital in October. "He had complained of giddiness. He was admitted to JJ Hospital on October 27 and was discharged on October 29. I am not sure if he was given any special treatment there," Kurlekar said.
