New Delhi: Former vice president Jadeep Dhankhar was on Monday admitted to the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) where he will undergo an MRI after he fell unconscious twice last week, officials said.
On January 10, he had "two bouts of unconsciousness" when he went to the washroom.
"Today, he had gone to AIIMS for a checkup when the doctors insisted that he should get admitted for tests," an official said.
