However, at the time of filing this report, there was no official confirmation from AIIMS Delhi regarding Singh's demise.

Visuals shared by ANI showed Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi entering AIIMS Delhi, fueling speculation about the situation.
Manmohan Singh, who served as India’s Prime Minister during the UPA 1 and UPA 2 governments from 2004 to 2014, was a key figure in the country’s economic transformation.

Singh remained an active member of the Rajya Sabha until earlier this year.
