Former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar was hospitalised at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi after collapsing during his morning walk on November 11. The 75-year-old, who previously served as the chairman of the Rajya Sabha, lost consciousness and was attended to by security personnel before being transported home in a PCR vehicle. After remaining unconscious for several minutes, he was subsequently rushed to AIIMS in an ambulance for further medical evaluation and treatment.

At AIIMS, Dhankhar was admitted to the cardio-neuro centre and is currently under the care of the cardiology department. While details regarding his health condition have not been disclosed, the incident marks another concerning episode in Dhankhar's recent medical history. He has experienced multiple fainting spells over the past two years, including a notable incident in March 2025 when he underwent angioplasty after experiencing chest pain.S1S2

In June 2025, Dhankhar fainted during an official event in Nainital while celebrating the golden jubilee of Kumaon University, and he has also suffered episodes of unconsciousness at home. Following his resignation from the vice presidency on July 21, 2025, he has been living at a farmhouse in South Delhi owned by Haryana politician Abhay Choutala, as he has not been allocated a post-retirement official residence.S2
