Sources said that GMC doctors had discharged Deshprabhu on Tuesday morning and he was taken to the Agasaim police lock-up. However, within a few hours he complained of chest pain and was again shifted to GMC.
"In the evening, the GMC doctors discharged him and then he was taken to the crime branch," police sources said.
Deshprabhu was arrested after the additional district and sessions court rejected his anticipatory bail plea. However, soon after his arrest he was admitted to GMC as he complained of uneasiness.
The NCP leader is the prime accused in a multi-crore illegal mining case where iron ore was illegally extracted from his property (an open plot) in Pernem taluka. Deshprabhu has moved the high court for bail and the matter will be heard on Wednesday.
The crime branch, investigating the case, has already rounded up Gitesh Naik, who worked with Deshprabhu as a contractor to transport the ore.
The mines and geology department had earlier confirmed the illegal ore extraction and slapped a 1.7 crore fine on Deshprabhu. The high-profile leader from North Goa had ignored summons issued to him to appear before the investigating officer.
