The sources said that he had high blood pressure and vomited a couple of times, which prompted the jail authorities to take him into the hospital, adding his condition is stated to be stable.
The Special Lokayukta Court on Saturday rejected the bail and issued an arrest warrant against Yeddyurappa who has been facing allegations of denotifying government land violating rules when he was the Chief Minister.
Facing the imminent arrest, B S Yeddyurappa on Saturday was surrendered before a Lokayukta Court on Bangalore and was sent to jail for a week after he was issued an arrest warrant in connection with the alleged land scams.
Yeddyurappa is the first former chief minister of Karnataka to go to jail and this has come as a great embarassment to BJP whose leader L K Advani is on a country wide campaign against corruption.
Acting on a complaint by two lawyers against Yeddyurappa for alleged irregularities in the denotification of land during his tenure as the chief minister, special Lokayukta Judges N K Sudhindra Rao rejected his bail application.
The former chief minister has failed to appear before the court while his sons B Y Raghavendra, MP, and B Y Vijendra and also his son-in-law Sohan Kumar also appeared in the court and got bail.
The judge remanded Yeddyurappa to judicial custody till October 22. His lawyer M B Naik had earlier said that they would challenge the Lokayukta court order in the High Court.
Another accused, former minister S N Krishnaiah Setty, was also remanded to judicial custody till October 22 by Judge who also granted bail BJP MLA Hemachandra Sagar and 10 others in the case.
