Palghar Hospital Assault: Eknath Shinde-Led Shiv Sena Suspends 7 Office-Bearers After Ruckus

The Shiv Sena in Maharashtra's Palghar district has suspended seven office-bearers following an alleged assault on hospital staff and a ruckus at Relief Hospital. The disciplinary action was taken on the recommendation of the party's disciplinary committee and under the orders of Sena chief and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

The suspension follows a dispute over the treatment costs of injured Dahi Handi participants, Govindas, who sustained injuries during Dahi Handi celebrations. Around 25-30 Shiv Sena workers allegedly entered the ICU of the hospital and created a disturbance over the treatment of the injured. Hospital staff alleged that Shiv Sena members slapped a hospital employee and threatened female staff members.

The hospital management and staff filed a complaint with the police, leading to the registration of a case against 17 people, including the main accused Rahul Gharat, who was subsequently arrested by the Palghar Police.
