Former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi on Wednesday after he collapsed during his morning walk.
According to sources familiar in the know, the 75-year-old has been shifted to the hospital’s cardio neuro center where he is being examined and treated by a cardio specialist. His current health condition remains unclear, with AIIMS authorities yet to issue an official statement.
Reports mentioned, he collapsed during routine morning walk and remained unconscious for a few minutes. He was brought home in a police control room vehicle by security personnel accompanying him.
An ILBS medical team along with AIIMS doctor Sandeep Seth attended to him and provided him initial medical assistance.
However, considering his health conditions, he was later shifted to AIIMS in an ambulance for further treatment.
Dhankhar has served as the 14th Vice President of India from August 2022 until his resignation in July 2025. Previously, in March 2025, he was admitted to AIIMS after complaints of chest pain and subsequently underwent angioplasty.
Later in June the same year, he fainted during the Golden Jubilee celebration of Kumaun University in Nainital.
Recently, he suffered two episodes of unconsciousness at his residence in January this year while heading to the washroom.
After leaving the Vice President’s residence, he moved to the South Delhi farmhouse of Haryana politician Abhay Chautala. He has not been allotted an official post-retirement residence so far.
Further details are awaited.
