The angels in white clothes who served the people during the Corona period, those women doctors and nurses, are beaten inhumanely by the Mindhe gang’s thugs who barge into the hospital—is this the rule of law?” he asked.Raut further called on CM Fadnavis to “put handcuffs on all of them and parade them in the streets in just their underwear and vest!”This comes after Ramesh Mhatre came under scrutiny after CCTV footage purportedly showed him and several of his supporters assaulting doctors and hospital staff inside a municipal hospital in Maharashtra’s Kalyan.According to hospital officials, the incident stemmed from the treatment of a woman admitted to Shastrinagar Hospital for childbirth. Following a caesarean delivery, doctors found that the newborn required specialised medical care because the umbilical cord had been wrapped around the baby’s neck twice.As the hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) was reportedly operating at full capacity, the attending doctors, Dr Srushti Baviskar and Dr Vaibhav Salunkhe, advised the family to shift the infant to another medical facility equipped to provide the required treatment.Meanwhile, Mhatre refuted all allegations of assaulting women doctors and nurses at a Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) hospital, saying the CCTV footage “may look that way” because of the camera angle. Mhatre asserted that he did not raise his hand against any medical staff during the visit.Speaking at a press conference, the Shiv Sena corporator expressed regret over the incident and alleged that the nurse was not listening to the grievances and was constantly speaking on her phone, after which he tapped her on the hand.”I express regret over the incident of assault that took place. I state with full confidence that I did not raise my hand against the female doctor. What appears in the CCTV footage might look that way due to the camera angle. I address her informally (using ‘tu’) because she is like a daughter to me. I am not even aware of whether she is married or not. While we were conversing, she kept talking on the phone and was not listening to our grievance; that is why I tapped her on the hand. We have been guided by Balasaheb’s teachings,” he said.”We have never raised a hand against women, nor will we ever do so in the future. The incident occurred due to systemic shortcomings within the hospital. We will strive to address those deficiencies. The individuals who prompted my visit there will provide further details regarding the entire incident. The people who had called me did not answer my calls. I arrived at the scene considering the gravity of the situation. They are the ones who will provide the full details,” he added.Shiv Sena MP Shrikant Shinde also condemned the incident, saying a case has been registered and strict action will be taken against those found guilty.However, the opposition has torn into the Sena over the conduct of its corporator, alleging that the party is drunk on power.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Watch Unpublished ARAI Study Flags E20 Compatibility Issues In Older Vehicles”There are 29 automobile manufacturers. The letters have already been prepared and are being dispatched while this press conference is underway,” Kejriwal said.Kejriwal said the three companies had stated during the Centre’s July 4 press conference that E20 fuel could be safely used in older vehicles, with only a marginal reduction in mileage.”During the government’s press conference on July 4, their representatives stated that it is safe to use E20 fuel in older vehicles. They said fuel efficiency may decline slightly by around 3–5% but that it does not damage the vehicle,” he said.However, he alleged that this contradicted the companies’ own owner’s manuals.”However, their owners’ manuals state that under no circumstances should vehicles manufactured before 2023 use petrol blended with more than 10% ethanol. These are two contradictory positions,” Kejriwal said.He added that the owner’s manual forms part of the agreement between the company and the consumer.”Your published owner’s manual, which forms part of the agreement between the consumer and the company, says one thing, while your representatives say something entirely different at a government press conference. This is not a minor mistake or discrepancy. Therefore, I have asked them to publicly clarify their actual position in writing,” he said.In his letters to Maruti Suzuki, Toyota Kirloskar and Hero MotoCorp, Kejriwal sought a written assurance that consumers would be compensated if E20 fuel reduced mileage or caused any damage to their vehicles.The remaining 26 automobile manufacturers have been asked to clarify their position on the use of E20 fuel, its impact on vehicle performance and mileage, and respond to concerns being raised by consumers.Earlier on Tuesday, the party chief said he will write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi next week, urging the government to make E20 fuel optional.”Prime Minister, why should the public suffer for your misadventure? Tell us who will pay the penalty if our mileage drops or our vehicles are damaged — your government or the company?” Kejriwal said. He also urged the Centre to allow consumers to choose between different grades of petrol.”With folded hands, I request Modi ji to agree to the demand of the public to give them an option – where all variants of fuel, be it E20, E10 or E0 – all are made available at petrol pumps at separate pricing,” he added.Get the latest India news and live updates.
