Bombay High Court Defers Decision on Shiv Sena Corporator's Release in Doctor Assault Case
The Bombay High Court deferred its decision on Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre's release pending the progress of the investigation into the July 6 assault on doctors at a Dombivli hospital. The court scheduled further hearings after key investigative steps, including witness statements, voice sample collection, and an identification parade, are completed by early August. The Indian Medical Association opposed Mhatre's release, citing witness intimidation concerns, while his counsel denied these allegations and offered compliance with conditions. Police protection for doctors was also directed.
