Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Shahnawaz Hussain was rushed to Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital on Tuesday following complaints of high blood pressure and uneasiness. He underwent angioplasty, a procedure carried out by doctors to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels that supply blood to the heart.

“Shahnawaz Hussain was admitted to Lilavati Hospital. We found a blockage in one of his veins and angioplasty was done subsequently,” a Lilavati doctor told media. The politician is currently in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
