He was admitted in the ICU around 4.15 pm, AIIMS Medical Superintendent Brahmaprakash told reporters.

Balkrishna was admitted in a state of “altered consciousness”, a medical condition in which the patient fails to recognise his immediate surroundings.

He was restless, Brahmaprakash said.

“Some tests have been done which show that his vital parameters are normal. A neurophysician and a cardiologist have examined him and he is stable.

“However, some reports are still awaited including the ones on enzymes in the blood stream. He is under the observation of a specialist team,” the AIIMS Medical Superintendent said.

“He will be kept at the hospital as of now,” Brahmaprakash said.
