The 48-year-old was admitted to the state-run Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan (LNJP) hospital on Wednesday, which is a dedicated COVID-19 facility.

On Wednesday, a senior official said that Sisodia was hospitalised as a precautionary measure since he was continuously having a little higher body temperature and his oxygen levels dropped slightly.
