London, July 12 (ANI): Late Michael Jackson had been popping a total of 55 different pills everyday in his final six months, according to reports.

The news came in line with the announcement that results of drug tests on the ‘Thriller’ singer’s brain and blood will be delayed further.

The decision was made after 28 prescription medicines were found at his rented mansion in LA, reports the Daily Star.

Drug Enforcement Agency officers have found dozens of bottles, boxes and bags of pills while searching the property in Holmby Hills where Jackson died.

Among other drugs they seized the highly dangerous surgical anaesthetic Propofol, which is legally available only to hospital patients and is administered via intravenous injection.

Propofol comes under the list of drugs found under the trade name Diprivan.

According to experts, without proper monitoring, the drug could lead to cardiac arrest -which ultimately caused Jackson’s death.

One LA-based doctor described the astonishing cache of drugs as a “guaranteed cocktail of death”.

It included the potent painkillers Demerol and OxyContin. (ANI)

New Delhi, April 9 (IANS) The Congress announced Thursday it had dropped Jagdish Tytler and Sajjan Kumar as its Lok Sabha candidates in the wake of protests over their alleged involvement in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

Congress spokesman Janardhan Dwivedi told reporters that the party had decided that ‘they will not be Lok Sabha candidates’ from Delhi in the general elections set to start April 16.

Dwivedi added that both Tytler and Sajjan Kumar had opted out of the contest so as not to vitiate the atmosphere ahead of the April-May polls.

The announcement came on a day of Sikh protests in New Delhi and Punjab against their candidature. Both have denied involvement in the killings of Sikhs after then prime minister Indira Gandhi’s assassination in 1984.
