Bhujbal complains of chest pain, admitted to ICU

Former Maharashtra deputy Chief Minister and senior NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal, presently under judicial custody in an alleged money laundering case, was on Monday admitted to ICU in South Mumbai after he complained of severe chest pain and high blood pressure.

“He was brought in with severe chest pain and a very high blood pressure of 180/120. Thus, we immediately shifted him to ICU. He is conscious but unstable. He will be shifted to JJ Hospital once his condition stabilises,” Rohan Sequeira, Associate Professor and Head of Medicine at multi-speciality Saint George Hospital, said. Bhujbal was shifted to the government-run hospital reportedly from Arthur Road jail where he has been lodged after his arrest last month.
