Former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar Hospitalised at AIIMS After Two Unconsciousness Episodes

Doctors have ordered broad cardiac-neurological evaluations after recent blackouts.

Overview

  • The 74-year-old was admitted to AIIMS New Delhi on January 12 following two loss-of-consciousness episodes reported on January 10 in a washroom.
  • He is under care in the Cardiology Department as clinicians conduct monitoring and assessments.
  • Further diagnostic tests, including an MRI, have been planned to evaluate the cause of the episodes.
  • Sources say his condition is stable, and no official statement has been issued by the hospital or his family.
  • The incidents align with prior blackout episodes at public events, after which he resigned as vice president in July 2025 citing health issues, with a separate AIIMS admission noted in March.
