Supreme Court: Politicians Assaulting Doctors Must Be Taken Into Custody

The Supreme Court ruled that politicians who assault doctors should be taken into custody immediately rather than being allowed to roam free, emphasizing the need for judicial strictness.

The court issued a notice to Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre regarding a plea challenging his bail in a case involving the assault of medical professionals in Thane.

This directive aims to curb rising violence against healthcare workers, with the bench asserting that those who attack doctors do not deserve the privilege of bail.
