Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi early Sunday after experiencing uneasiness and chest pain, sources confirmed. The 73-year-old was rushed to the hospital around 2 a.m. and admitted to the Critical Care Unit (CCU) under the supervision of Dr. Rajiv Narang, Head of the Department of Cardiology at AIIMS.

According to hospital sources, Dhankhar’s condition is stable, and he remains under close observation. A team of doctors is monitoring him to ensure his recovery, with no further details released about the nature of his ailment. The Vice President’s admission prompted a visit from Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda, who arrived at AIIMS to inquire about his health and consult with the medical team.

Dhankhar, who assumed office as India’s Vice President in August 2022, has been an active public figure, often presiding over Rajya Sabha sessions and engaging in national events. His sudden hospitalization has drawn concern, though the stable prognosis offers reassurance. Authorities have not yet specified a timeline for his discharge, pending further medical updates from AIIMS.
