The Story in Brief
Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre walked out of Kalyan’s Adharwadi jail on Saturday after the Bombay High Court granted him bail for allegedly assaulting doctors at a municipal hospital in Dombivli last month. He completed bail formalities around 4.30 pm, surrendered his passport, and left for Goa, where he must stay until the chargesheet is filed and report to the local police station thrice a week. The court also granted bail to four others arrested in the same incident, which occurred after a pregnant woman’s family accused hospital staff of delaying treatment.
The Indian Opinion
Some will see the bail as proof that politicians get soft treatment. Yet the conditions, passport surrender, a mandatory stay in Goa, and thrice-weekly police reporting, are unusually strict for an assault case. The real test will come when the chargesheet is filed. Will the evidence show a systematic attack on doctors, or a family driven to desperation by alleged delays? That question matters more than who secured bail.
