BJP MP Abhijit Gangopadhyay hospitalised with acute pancreatitis

Kolkata, June 15 (UNI) BJP Member of Parliament and former Calcutta High Court judge Abhijit Gangopadhyay, now admitted to a private hospital in South Kolkata with acute pancreatitis alongside gastrointestinal sepsis, was critical but stable, doctors said on Sunday.
Gangopadhyay was hospitalised on Saturday night with severe symptoms including vomiting, abdominal pain and distension.

"He remains critical but stable," the hospital said in a media statement.
Medical investigation has confirmed the 63-year-old leader was suffering from acute pancreatitis with gastrointestinal sepsis. He is currently being treated in the hospital's Critical Care Unit (CCU), where he is under round-the-clock monitoring.

“He felt unwell and was brought in for evaluation. Several diagnostic tests are ongoing, and he is under close observation,” a hospital spokesperson said.


A multi-disciplinary medical board comprising internal medicine and critical care pulmonologist, cardiologist, endocrinologist, gastroenterologist, and Gl surgeon, has been formed to ensure comprehensive and coordinated management of his condition, the statement read.

Gangopadhyay, who resigned from the Calcutta High Court in March 2024, joined the Bharatiya Janata Party shortly thereafter and contested the general elections. He was elected from the Tamluk constituency in West Bengal in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. UNI XC SSP
