As per reports, the SP leader's family members admitted him to the hospital at 3pm on Sunday, and his status is currently stable. It is also learned that Khan's treatment is ongoing under the supervision of specialists.
Details on Khan's recent hospital visits
The 72-year-old was earlier admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at a private hospital in Lucknow after being diagnosed with pneumonia in August last year. The senior SP leader had complained about shortness of breath and was thus evaluated by doctors. Khan was also admitted to the same hospital in the national capital for a routine examination in May 2022.

Khan, one of the Samajwadi Party's founding members, served as an MP from Rampur and an MLA from the Rampur Assembly constituency ten times. However, his Assembly membership ended after a local court convicted him in a hate speech case. The senior SP leader also has numerous criminal cases registered against him and was released from prison after getting bail in May 2022.
