NCP chief Sharad Pawar injured, rushed to Mumbai hospital

NCP chief Sharad Pawar was airlifted from Delhi to Mumbai in an air ambulance on Wednesday after he fell down at his residence and suffered injuries to his hip and legs. He arrived at the domestic airport in Vile Parle at around 11.20am. Pawar was rushed to the Breach Candy Hospital at Bhulabhai Desai Road on Wednesday, where he has been treated earlier for other health conditions. He was flown in an King Air B200 ambulance that has room enough to hold a stretcher. Pawar was lying down on the stretcher throughout the journey and was visibly in pain. "His leg was plastered but we do not know the extent of injury as yet," said a source. Doctors at Breach Candy will decide the next course of treatment after a thorough examination, the sources said. Airport authorities made an exception by allowing the air ambulance to land at the domestic airport instead of Juhu aerodrome.
