As per PGIMER officials, Hooda was rushed to the medical emergency around 9.30pm. After initial clinical examination and laboratory investigations, he was diagnosed with having low blood sugar.

Hooda was attended to by a team of senior doctors, including PGIMER director Dr YK Chawla and endocrinology department head Dr Anil Bhansali. Later, he was shifted to the private ward, where he has been kept under.

PGIMER sources said that Hooda was brought to the emergency in a white Honda City car (CH-03U-4309) without his routine security cover and escort.

It was only after an hour of his admission that a battery of senior Haryana government officers began arriving at the hospital.

Initially, Hooda arrived at the locked main gate of Nehru Hospital from where he was shifted to the PGIMER emergency by the institute's staff.
