The Bombay High Court on Saturday granted bail to Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre in the doctors’ assault case.
Latest Update
The assault followed a complaint that a nine-month pregnant woman with pregnancy-related complications was denied admission because there were no beds available in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of the civic hospital.
The incident led to widespread outrage from the medical fraternity after a CCTV video of the assault went viral on social media.

This comes after an earlier order by the court staying a magisterial order that had granted bail to Mhatre, who was arrested for allegedly assaulting doctors and other staff at a civic hospital in Dombivli, along with his associates, on July 6.
Mhatre had surrendered before the police a day after the Bombay high court stayed the magisterial court’s order granting him bail.
Mhatre and his three accomplices were arrested on July 8, a day after they allegedly attacked two doctors and other staff members at Shastri Nagar Municipal Hospital in Dombivli.
