Outrage Over Assault On Doctors, Maharashtra Govt Assures Action on Corporator

As outrage grows over Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre's assault on doctors, including a woman doctor, at a Kalyan-Dombivli hospital, the ruling Shiv Sena and the BJP have condemned the leader and promised action. Reacting to the July 6 assault that was caught on camera, Maharashtra Minister of State for Home Yogesh Kadam assured a probe and action in the matter. "Assaulting doctors is wrong. We will investigate the matter and take action. If someone has any issue, they must report to the authorities instead of taking the law into their hands," the minister said. Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre was seen assaulting a female doctor at the hospital following an altercation over the treatment of a pregnant woman.
