The incident happened just before he was about to read and table the BMC annual education budget 2021-2022.

As his colleagues wondered and enquired what was wrong, and an aide rushed to his help, Pawar stood up from his chair, rushed to a nearby washroom to clear his mouth and returned after some time.
It later it came to be known that instead of a bottle of water, he had taken a mouthful of hand sanitizer, but fortunately realized the error before gulping it down.
Later, he was handed a bottle of water from which he took a gulp before presenting the budget in the BMC House.
