A fall that he didn't think much of led additional chief secretary (Home) of Maharashtra, Sunil Porwal, to the ICU of a private hospital, after it was found that he had fractured his ribs. The senior bureaucrat was operated on at Bombay Hospital on Sunday night, where doctors removed blood clots of up to a litre of blood, from his chest.

Doctors said, accompanied by his family and other senior bureaucrats, Porwal recently visited Mahabaleshwar, where he fell in a bathroom. He developed pain in his chest, but didn't think much of it until he went to Pune for work on Friday, and began to feel nauseous and started vomiting. The pain, too, had worsened.
