"Raut visited the Lilavati Hospital after he complained for slight chest pain. He is being treated by Dr Jaleel Parkar," the official said. 

"Raut came to the hospital two days back also for a routine check-up. An ECG (electrocardiogram test) was then done followed by some check-ups. Based on the ECG report, doctors advised him to come to the hospital today for further tests," he said.

According to the known information, Raut will be discharged tomorrow.

Sanjay Raut, the executive editor of Shiv Sena's mouthpiece 'Saamna', had been quite a vocal about the Shiv Sena's demand that led to Bharatiya Janata Party backing out from forming a government in alliance in the Maharashtra.

The governor has given a deadline of Monday with an invite to Shiv Sena to form the government in the state.
