Bombay HC grants bail to Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre in doctors assault caseThe Bombay High Court has granted bail to Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre in the doctors' assault case. Mhatre was initially granted bail by a magisterial court, but this order was stayed by the High Court. Following the stay, Mhatre surrendered to the police.

The attack occurred after a pregnant woman with complications was reportedly denied admission due to lack of NICU beds. The incident sparked public outrage after a CCTV video of the assault circulated online.
