According to Sawant, Shinde has been experiencing significant weakness over the past four days. Doctors have suggested that his symptoms are indicative of both dengue and malaria. In light of these symptoms, medical professionals have strongly recommended that Shinde take complete rest for the next 1-2 days.

He had gone to his village, however, his health deteriorated. He returned to Thane where doctors conducted various tests. Test reports may have shown something and that is why he has been admitted to Jupiter Hospital.”
