Kalyan Sessions Court Grants Bail To Shiv Sena Corporator Ramesh Mhatre In Shastrinagar Hospital Assault Case
Kalyan Sessions Court granted bail to Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre in the Shastrinagar Hospital assault case on a ₹50,000 cash surety.
Judge K. S. Katakade allowed bail despite prosecution opposition, considering Mhatre's age (73) and health issues.
Mhatre's defence argued he had no criminal intention and was called to the hospital; cited acquittals in old cases.
Three other accused remain in custody; their legal representatives are expected to file separate bail applications.
The assault on doctors and nurses at Shastrinagar Hospital in Dombivli sparked protests and renewed concerns over healthcare worker safety.
