The hospital had admitted ombudsman on Saturday after he complained about a heart attack.

A doctor said the decision about stent insertion was made after a coronary artery of the ombudsman was found to be blocked.

He said the ombudsman was discharged after remaining under observation for 24 hours after he underwent a successful surgical procedure at the Coronary Care Unit.

The doctor said the ombudsman had been asked to take rest at home for a few days before resuming work.
