Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray was admitted to Lilavati hospital on Thursday afternoon after he complained of fever.

Hospital sources said that the 82-year-old leader was hospitalised at 2 PM.

Thackeray was stated to be suffering from a minor lung infection.

A party official, however, described it as a routine medical check-up and said he would be discharged by evening. (ANI)
