Dr Davinder Singh of the civil hospital told mediapersons that Johar could have injuries on soft tissues of his ankle, but there was no fracture in the leg, thus corroborating the report carried by HT that the plaster could be a ploy to mislead the investigations.
Dr Sarvesh Kaushal of civil hospital said Johar had undergone a gall bladder surgery a few days back and had come for follow-up.
Johar was sent to the central jail late in the evening.
