Former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi on Monday, January 12, 2026, after experiencing two episodes of unconsciousness on January 10. Officials confirmed that Dhankhar fainted twice in the washroom on Saturday. He was taken to AIIMS for a medical check-up, where doctors advised hospitalization for further tests, including an MRI scan, to assess his condition. This incident is particularly concerning given Dhankhar's history of similar health issues. During his tenure as Vice President, he had reportedly fainted or felt unwell at several public events across the country, including in Rann of Kutch, Uttarakhand, Kerala, and the national capital. These recurring health concerns were also cited as the reason for his resignation from the post of Vice President on July 21, 2025. At 74 years old, his current condition is under close medical observation, with further updates expected after the diagnostic evaluations are completed. The news has been reported by major Indian media outlets, corroborating the core facts of his hospitalization and the medical reasons cited. His previous hospitalization for a heart-related ailment last year also adds to the concern surrounding his current health status.
