Shiv Sena Chief Suspends Party Member After Hospital Bill Row Ends in Assault
Abuse of power by a political leader is a serious concern.
On September 7, 2026, Eknath Shinde, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief, suspended the party’s Palghar city chief Rahul Gharat after his arrest for allegedly assaulting hospital staff. Gharat was remanded to police custody by a local magistrate. The incident occurred when Shiv Sena members refused to pay a remaining ₹9,000 bill until a patient could be released, leading to an argument and assault. A wider probe is ongoing.
