Doctors warned that any further deterioration in his fluid levels could lead to severe health risks, insisting on ICU admission for effective treatment.\n\nMumbai Police had denied permission for Jarange's planned protest at Azad Maidan, citing law and order concerns amidst the ongoing Ganeshotsav festivities.
