Event Summary

On July 6, 2026, India — Shiv Sena (UBT) corporator Ramesh Mhatre and his associates allegedly assaulted doctors and staff at Shastri Nagar Hospital in Dombivli, Thane, after a dispute over NICU bed availability. The incident sparked widespread outrage, leading to protests and strikes by medical associations. Mhatre was arrested on July 8 and granted bail on July 14, but the India — Bombay High Court cancelled the bail on July 18, directing him to surrender. He surrendered on July 19.
