Nirmal Kaur and son Jeev both revealed that he was not feeling well and that his oxygen level dropped. Milkha Singh is also suffering from dehydration possibly due to diarrhoea and vomiting.

"He has been hospitalised. He was weak and not eating since yesterday, so we had to hospitalise him. Though his parameters seemed alright, we thought it is safer to have him admitted where he would be under supervision of senior doctors," Jeev Milkha Singh told PTI.
