Treatment follows the chief minister’s instructions
A post by the Instagram page Bundeli Duniya said the initiative for Suneel Lodhi’s treatment followed instructions from Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav.

He later met Sagar Collector Dilip Kumar Yadav at his office, where he also sang a devotional song.
Suneel Lodhi’s musical journey
Suneel began his musical journey with a tambura when he was around 10 or 11 years old. He spent years singing in and around his home in Bundelkhand and first gained recognition after posting songs on Bundeli Duniya. Filmmaker and music producer Pankaj VRK later heard his voice in a simple recording of the Hanuman bhajan ‘More Sankat Ke Kataiya’. The bhajan went viral across India and changed the course of his life.
Success with ‘Hanuman Ansh’
Suneel then lent his voice to the devotional film ‘Hanuman Ansh’, and ‘Maine Tere Hi Bharose Hanuman’ became a hit, bringing him wider attention. Written, directed and produced by Vishal Chaturvedi under his banner Swambhu Media Network, the film is based on his book ‘Divine Detour: That Changed My Life’ and the life of Neem Karoli Baba. According to Sacnilk, the film was made on a budget of Rs 2 crore and collected Rs 451.82 crore worldwide at the box office.
