# Shiv Sena doctor assault case – bail saga continues > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/shiv-sena-doctor-assault-case-in-maharashtra > Updated: 2026-08-07T07:21:08.000Z. Sources: 27. Developments: 5. On July 6, 2026, Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre and supporters entered Shastri Nagar Hospital in Dombivli after a family was asked to move a newborn because the NICU was full. Video showed Mhatre striking a doctor’s hand to seize her phone and assaulting other staff. The incident led to the resignation of two doctors and a statewide black‑ribbon protest by resident doctors. Mhatre was arrested, remanded in police custody until July 13, and briefly hospitalized for hypertension and a single kidney. The Kalyan court granted him bail on July 14, accepting his health‑related plea. The bail sparked criticism from the medical community, which had planned a strike on July 22. A Bombay High Court suo motu bench on July 18 stayed the bail of Mhatre and four co‑accused, ordering their surrender by July 19, warning of property attachment, and urging doctors to reconsider the strike. On August 7 the High Court again granted bail, this time imposing a travel ban from Maharashtra, requiring the accused to report to police three times a week, and directing Mhatre to stay at a resort in Goa. The court ordered a special public prosecutor, a fast‑track trial, police protection for the assaulted doctors, and barred the municipal corporation from disciplining the doctors for their absence. Investigation continues on charges of assaulting public servants, criminal intimidation and related offences. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-07: Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre granted bail with Maharashtra travel ban Bombay High Court granted bail to Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre and three associates accused of assaulting doctors in Dombivli, imposing a Maharashtra travel ban, police reporting and a Goa residence as条件. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/shiv-sena-corporator-ramesh-mhatre-granted-bail-with-maharashtra-travel-ban ### 2026-07-18: Bombay High Court cancels bail of Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre over doctors assault Bombay High Court stayed bail for Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre and four others, ordering surrender by July 19 after they assaulted doctors in Dombivli; judges also urged doctors to drop a planned strike. 10 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bombay-high-court-revokes-bail-of-shiv-sena-corporator-ramesh-mhatre-in-doctor-assault-case ### 2026-07-14: Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre granted bail in Dombivli hospital assault case Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre received bail after his arrest for assaulting doctors at Dombivli's Shastrinagar Hospital, an incident that led to two doctor resignations and protests by resident doctors. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/shiv-sena-corporator-ramesh-mhatre-granted-bail-in-dombivli-hospital-assault-case ### 2026-07-10: Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre remanded to custody over KDMC hospital assault Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre was remanded to police custody until July 13 for assaulting doctors at KDMC's Dombivli hospital, prompting strikes and calls for protection of medical staff. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/shiv-sena-corporator-ramesh-mhatre-remanded-to-custody-over-kdmc-hospital-assault ### 2026-07-08: Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre arrested for assault on doctors at Dombivli hospital Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre was arrested after video showed him and supporters assaulting two doctors and staff at Dombivli’s Shastri Nagar Hospital, sparking resignations, protests and calls for better医 16 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/shiv-sena-councilor-ramesh-mhatre-charged-after-beating-doctors-at-thane-hospital --- Cite as: Shiv Sena doctor assault case – bail saga continues.
