Father Stan Swamy, 84, an accused in the Bhima Koregaon case, remains critical as he was readmitted to the ICU last Tuesday, doctors treating him at Holy Family Hospital, Bandra, said. Fr Swamy was shifted to the hospital from Taloja jail on May 29 after he tested positive for Covid-19. Fr Stan has Parkinson’s disease and bilateral hearing loss.

A doctor treating Fr Swamy said, “He has been in and out of the ICU. While we shifted him to the ward a week back, we had to move him to the ICU on June 29. He has Supraventricular tachycardia (abnormally fast or erratic heartbeat) and has also been diagnosed with depression.”
