"He is admitted to IGMC and we have kept him under observation and are doing further examinations," he added.
Earlier this month, Sukhu had announced a Rs 2 lakh incentive for parents with a single girl child as part of the state government's ongoing efforts to combat the disturbing practice of female foeticide.
Previously, parents of a single girl child were eligible for a Rs 35,000 incentive. On the other hand, CM Sukhu had revealed that this amount will now be significantly increased to Rs 2 lakh, emphasising the government's commitment to promoting gender equality and protecting the welfare of female children, the news agency PTI had reported.
Sukhu also detailed the government's plan to award Rs 2 lakh to parents who practise family planning after the birth of a single girl child. Those who choose not to expand their families after having two daughters will also receive a Rs one lakh incentive, the report said.
