Srinivas was admitted to Sarvhit Hospital in Sangli. According to Tuhin Mishra, Mandhana’s manager, the situation escalated quickly. “At breakfast, he started feeling unwell. We waited a little for it to normalise but it was worsening, so we didn’t want to risk it and called for an ambulance. He is currently under observation,” Mishra told reporters in Sangli.
