Former Vice President Dhankhar undergoes cardiac and neurological tests at AIIMS

Former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar underwent multiple diagnostic tests at AIIMS Delhi on Thursday focusing on his cardiac and neurological health. The comprehensive evaluation included assessments related to heart and brain functions as part of his ongoing medical care.

Physicians attending to Dhankhar have recommended his continued hospitalization at this stage, according to hospital officials. The decision regarding his discharge is expected to be made on Friday following a review of test reports and clinical findings.

The hospital is expected to issue a formal health update on Friday as clinicians analyze the test results and determine the appropriate course of treatment and discharge timeline for the former constitutional functionary.
