He was taken to CMC hospital in an ambulance from Arakkonam, sources at Malabar Institute of Medical Sciences (MIMS),where the actor was undergoing treatment, told PTI here.

Sreekumar should have been shifted to CMC a couple of weeks earlier, but it was postponed considering his health conditions.
