Court Grants Bail to 12 in Palghar Hospital Assault Case; Key Accused Await Hearings
A Palghar court granted bail to 12 accused, including 11 Govindas and a cameraman, in a case involving an alleged assault on hospital staff during a dispute over medical bills related to Dahi Handi celebrations. The accused granted bail were not linked to Shiv Sena, while key party functionaries remain in custody with pending bail hearings. The incident occurred in September, and investigations led to arrests of several individuals, including Shiv Sena leaders who were suspended by the party.
