Shiv Sena Corporator Surrenders After High Court Cancels Bail in Hospital Assault Case

Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre surrendered to police on Tuesday after the Bombay High Court cancelled his bail in a case of assaulting doctors at a hospital in Dombivli. The High Court's division bench, comprising Acting Chief Justice Ravindra Ghuge and Justice Gautam Ankhad, overturned the Kalyan magistrate court's earlier order granting him bail, citing the criminal cases pending against him. Following his surrender, Mhatre is expected to be produced before a Kalyan court and may be sent to judicial custody. Separately, police also arrested Sadhana Karande, the fifth accused in the same case. Karande is the mother of the pregnant woman whose delayed treatment allegedly triggered the incident. The assault at the hospital had sparked outrage and led to calls for strict action. The case is under investigation, and authorities are continuing their inquiries.
