The 85-year-old governor of Madhya Pradesh was admitted on Saturday after he had fever and complications related to urology. His COVID-19 sample report came out negative at the time of admission.

The doctors initially started treating him for the urine infection. He started showing some signs of improvement when the doctors detected some problem related to the liver, for which he was further investigated through a CT guided procedure. Post-procedure, he developed internal abdominal bleeding for which an emergency operation was performed. The operation was successful and he was shifted to ICU on Sunday.

Medanta Hospital Director Dr Rakesh Kapoor had told PTI on Sunday that the Governor was undergoing intensive treatment and had said that his condition was stable.
