Acting on the Supreme Court's directive, veteran Congress leader N D Tiwari today gave his
blood sample in connection with the paternity suit filed by a
32-year-old man claiming to be his biological son.
Mr Tiwari gave his blood sample in front of the District
Judge Raj Krishna in Dehradun.

The Supreme Court had on May 24 rejected 88-year-old
Tiwari's plea that he was too old to give his blood sample.

The paternity suit was filed by Rohit Shekhar in 2008 in Delhi
High Court seeking its direction to declare the Congress
leader as his biological father. Mr

Tiwari had been directed to make himself available at his home in Dehra Dun today before district judge and a local civil surgeon to be accompanied by a pathologist.
