Ahmedabad, Dec 28: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's mother Heeraben Modi has been hospitalised after her health deteriorated last night.

Heeraben Modi, who turned 99 in June this year, has been admitted to a hospital in Ahmedabad. A statement from UN Mehta Institute of Cardiology and Research Centre has said that her condition is stable. The hospital has not shared any other piece of information.

The BJP's Gujarat MLAs Darshanaben Vaghela and Kaushik Jain have reached the hospital.

Accident

The development comes a day after PM Modi's brother, Prahlad Modi’s car met with an accident near Mysuru in Karnataka.

Prahlad Modi, accompanied by his wife, son, daughter-in-law and grandson, was travelling to Bandipura in a Mercedes-Benz SUV when it hit a divider around 2 pm on December 27. His convoy was also travelling with him when the accident took place.

Visuals from the spot showed severe damage to the front of the car. Police said the car hit the median but "wasn't speeding".

Mysuru SP Seema Latkar said: "Five members were travelling in a Mercedes-Benz. The driver wasn't speeding, however, he lost control and hit the median. The area where the accident took place is not a busy junction and the maximum travel speed is 40-50km per hour."

Prahlad Modi's grandson suffered a fracture in his leg while others were admitted to Mysru's JSS Hospital with minor injuries.

"The child has suffered a fracture.  No one has suffered life-threatening injuries. Everyone's out of danger," said Dr Madhu, JSS medical superintendent.

Karnataka Sports Minister Narayan Gowda visited Prahlad Modi and his family at the hospital and enquired on their health.
