Notorious serial killer Charles Sobhraj underwent open heart surgery at Shahid Gangalal National Heart Centre in Bansbari, Kathmandu on Monday.
Sobhraj, 73, a French national, was admitted to the hospital after doctors diagnosed leakage in a valve.
He has not regained his consciousness yet, it has been learnt.
Sobhraj, the alleged bikini killer, had recently fainted in the Central Jail, Sundhara, where he has been kept in confinement for the last 12 years.
Sobhraj has been doing his time in Kathmandu after the Supreme Court sentenced him to life in prison for murdering an American tourist, Connie Joe Bronzich, in 1975 in Nepal.
