Shiv Sena Corporator Surrenders After Supreme Court Cancels Bail in Doctor Assault Case
Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre and three others surrendered before the Thane trial court after the Supreme Court cancelled their bail in a doctor assault case. They were remanded to Adharwadi Jail. The accused allegedly assaulted and verbally abused three doctors at Shastri Nagar Municipal Hospital in Dombivli on July 6. The Supreme Court criticized lower courts for overlooking Mhatre's criminal history, which includes 18 cases with serious charges under sections 302 and 307 of the IPC. The court emphasized that violence cannot be used to express dissatisfaction with medical treatment.
