The accused appeared in court for a bail application this week, hobbling in pain and holding his protruding intestines in a plastic bag, local media reported on Wednesday.
A shocked judge ordered prison authorities to immediately take the man to hospital. The man told the court he had failed to get medical help since his arrest in September.
A prison spokesman said the man had been taken back to hospital at least twice but there was no doctor on those occasions, and he was receiving painkillers.Reuters
