"After discharge from the hospital, Pawar left for Mumbai by a helicopter", NCP spokesperson Nawab Malik said.

"After landing at the Mahalaxmi helipad, the NCP chief will proceed to his home in South Mumbai," he added.

Yesterday, NCP's Maharashtra unit president Sunil Tatkare had said that Pawar had to be hospitalised after he suffered a reaction to a medicine that he was taking.

Earlier, Dr Parvez Grant, Managing Trustee and Chief Cardiologist of Ruby Hall clinic, had said that Pawar was suffering from a 'minor kidney problem' and 'water retention'.
