The doctor was allegedly suspended for his remarks against the state government and was later arrested for creating ruckus at a public place.
In his letter to the hospital superintendent, Dr. Sudhakar reportedly went into the details of the controversy at Narsipatnam government hospital until his admission to the mental health institute.
He also mentioned about the side-effects of the medication being given to him and included a photograph of his lip, which he claims has dried up due to the 'unnecessary medication'. Dr. Sudhakar further requested the hospital to refer him to a 'better hospital' while insisting that his condition is now normal.
