Caretaker Chief Minister of Maharashtra Eknath Shinde was taken to a private hospital in the city on Tuesday morning for a “routine check-up”, a close aide said.

“I am fine, do not worry,” Shinde told reporters as he was driven to Jupiter Hospital.

Shiv Sena leader Uday Samant said it was a “routine check-up”, and Shinde would return to his official residence `Varsha’ in Mumbai afterwards.
