New Delhi, November 11:Former Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, on Wednesday, sources said.

The 75-year-old former Vice-President was admitted under the supervision of Dr Sandeep Seth, according to sources. However, details regarding his current health condition remain unknown. AIIMS authorities have not issued any official statement on his admission so far.

This is not the first time Dhankhar has faced health-related concerns. In March 2025, he was admitted to the critical care unit of AIIMS after complaining of chest pain and subsequently underwent angioplasty. He also fainted during the golden jubilee celebrations of Kumaon University in Nainital in June 2025.

In January 2026, Dhankhar reportedly lost consciousness twice at his residence while heading towards the washroom, raising concerns about his health.

Dhankhar served as India's 14th Vice-President from August 2022 until July 21, 2025, when he resigned from the constitutional post.

Further details about his present health condition are awaited.
