Former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar collapses during a morning walk in Delhi and is admitted to AIIMS, with reports saying he is being assessed and treated by cardiology. Multiple outlets identify him as a 75-year-old former Rajya Sabha chairman and say his admission is to AIIMS’s cardio-neuro centre.
The articles largely rely on sources and state that AIIMS has not issued a public statement. India Today and Times of India similarly describe the collapse and hospitalization, focusing on the immediate incident. Free Press Journal adds more operational details about how he is attended and transported after losing consciousness.
Free Press Journal also includes background on previous fainting episodes and earlier medical events, including an AIIMS admission in 2025 for chest pain and angioplasty. Other outlets provided here do not add these additional medical-history details.
