The man reached Bengaluru on February 19/20 and later went to Hyderabad in a bus.
He took treatment for fever after coming to Hyderabad and was admitted to a private super speciality hospital in the city. As it did not subside, he came to the state-run Gandhi hospital on Sunday evening, Mr Rajender said.
