1st LD Writethru: Indian Home Minister hospitalized

Xinhua, March 7, 2015 Adjust font size:

Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh has been admitted to a hospital near the national capital Saturday, sources said.

"Singh was rushed to the super-speciality hospital in Gurgaon on the outskirts of the Indian capital around 9.30 a.m. (local time) from his official residence, after he complained of a heart problem. He is currently undergoing treatment at the private hospital," the sources said.

Doctors treating the 63-year-old minister have, however, not said anything about his condition even though Singh has been admitted in the intensive care unit of the hospital, known to be one of the best heart hospitals in the country. Endi
