Supreme Court Cancels Bail of Shiv Sena Corporator in Thane Doctor Assault Case
The Supreme Court of India on Monday cancelled the bail of Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre, accused of assaulting doctors at a municipal hospital in Thane. The court emphasized that the medical fraternity must be protected and directed Mhatre to surrender within three days. Mhatre faces 19 criminal cases, though his lawyer claims most are politically motivated. The incident followed a dispute over treatment delays for a pregnant woman. The Bombay High Court had earlier granted bail but the Supreme Court stayed that order pending appeal.
