Fashion designer Rohit Bal is in the intensive care unit (ICU) at Gurugram’s Medanta hospital undergoing treatment for cardiac issues and is in a critical condition, doctors treating him said on Tuesday.

Bal, a trendsetter in Indian fashion, is under the supervision of a team led by cardiologist Dr Praveen Chandra at the hospital. “He is in a critical condition. He was admitted a few days ago. He came with a heart condition that is getting stabilised but he also has infection which is creating the trouble,” Dr Chandra said. A family friend said Bal, 61, has had a pacemaker for many years. “It was giving him trouble, so he was taken to Moolchand hospital near his house. He was later shifted to Medanta,” he said.
