Hospital violence
In 2001, Vijaypat faced a traumatic incident when Shiv Sena leader Anand Dighe was admitted to Sunitidevi Singhania Hospital in Thane (owned by the Singhania family) after a car accident and a broken leg. After the operation, Dighe suffered a heart attack and died on 26 August. Furious Shiv Sena activists went on a rampage at the 200-bed hospital when they heard the news.
