NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal

Senior NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal, 69, was rushed to JJ Hospital from Arthur Road Jail after a severe drop in his blood platelet count. It was suspected that the former deputy chief minister, arrested in March this year in a corruption case, may have dengue. However, the hospital’s blood test report confirmed otherwise. Yet, to rule out any misdiagnosis, Bhujbal will be provided with systemic dengue treatment.
