The condition of former Haryana chief minister Om Prakash Chautala, who was admitted to AIIMS after complaining of breathing problems, is now "stable", hospital authorities today said.
The 81-year-old INLD chief, who is serving a 10-year-jail term, was shifted to AIIMS last night, two days after he was admitted to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital Hospital due to an infection. He has been kept in the Pulmonary Department under the observation of its head Dr Randeep Guleria.
"Dr Guleria has said his (Chautala) condition is now stable. It has not yet been decided as to how long would he would be kept at the hospital," the authorities said.
Chautala was earlier admitted to RML Hospital on August 27 and shifted to the trauma section of the ICU a day later. His Total Leukocyte Count (TLC) had increased a lot indicating some sort of infection.
"He (Chautala) was shifted to AIIMS from RML last night," an official said.
According to sources, the former Haryana Chief Minister was referred to RML Hospital from the central jail dispensary.
On January 22, 2013, a special CBI court had convicted and sentenced Chautala and his son Ajay along with seven others to 10-year jail term each for illegally recruiting 3,206 junior teachers in the year 2,000.
