Earlier, in a statement, the hospital authoroties said, “He is being treated by our team of experts and is making steady recovery.”

51-year-old Sidhu was admitted to the hospital with acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which is a life-threatening disease if not cured in time.


DVT is caused by a blood clot in a deep vein which hinders the normal blood flow. The symptoms may include swelling, pain, and tenderness, often in the legs.
