Union Interior Minister Amit Shah, who was discharged from AIIMS nearly two weeks ago after post-Covid-19 care, was readmitted to hospital last night after reportedly complaining of a lack of air.
Sources said Shah, 55, was admitted around 11 p.m. Saturday night and is being held in the CN tower, a facility reserved for VVIPs. The BJP leader is being treated by Dr. Randeep Guleria, director of AIIMS and his condition is said to be stable now.
Shah has been suffering from post-COVID ailments for a month. He was previously admitted to AIIMS on August 18 after suffering post-COVID ailments days after his recovery from COVID-19.
