In a horrific incident, A 25-year-old girl was brutally beaten up by a man on Monday evening while she was trying to enter the doctor's cabin in Kalyan's Shree Balachitikha Clinic, reported Marathi daily Sakal.
The video of the incident has gone viral on social media.
The report said that the woman was stopped entering the doctor's clinic because there were people inside. The girl has been identified as Sonali Kalasare, while the youth's name is Gokul Jha.
Following the incident, Sonali filed a case against Jha at Manpada Police Station, and the police are probing the case.
According to the details, Sonali – who lives in Pisavali village in Kalyan – works as a receptionist at Dr Aniket Palande's Shree Balachitikha Clinic in Nanivali.
She works two shifts at the clinic —from 10 am to 2 pm and from 6 pm to 10 pm. When she went to work on Monday at 6 pm, Dr Aniket Palande didn't arrive, and around 4-5 patients were waiting for him at the clinic. When Dr Aniket Palande arrived at around 6.25 pm, a few MR went to meet him.
In the meantime, a man and woman also arrived to the clinic with their baby for the check up. Along with this, a 25-year-old boy, a relative of them, also came. When that boy tried to enter doctor's chamber, the receptionist said the doctor was busy and asked him to wait outside.
But Gokul allegedly abused her, and Sonali asked him not to do so. But he went out and came in, and then again abused Sonali. After this, he severely kicked her and also punched her, the police said.
The other people at the clinic rescued the girl. Dr Aniket Palande also came out the clinic and settled the matter. When enquired about the incident, it was found out that Gokul was just a relative who accompanied with the parents of the sick child.
Later, Sonali filed a case against Gokul at Manpada Police Station. The whole incident took place at a time when reports of Marathi men being beaten up migrants are coming up to light.

Government Deportations Leave Families Of Bengali Migrants In Deep Distress

Murarai: Sixty-something Bhodu Sheikh sat on the porch of his ramshackle hut in Dorjee Para, a settlement tucked away in one corner of Paikar village in the Muslim-majority Murarai assembly constituency of West Bengal's Birbhum district, with a blank look in his eyes. More than the rickety body that shrank further during the cough bouts from his debilitating asthma, Bhodu's overt signs of resignation to fate seemed expedited by his total ignorance of the current whereabouts of his daughter, Sonali, and five-year-old grandson Sabir, who along with his son-in law, Danesh, were picked up by Delhi Police from the Bengali Basti in Sector 26, Rohini, last month and pushed to Bangladesh. They were deported following orders from the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO), Delhi police had said. The family, Bhodu said, lived in Delhi for nearly 25 years, where Danesh worked as a ragpicker and waste collector. They were targeted, among hundreds of other basti dwellers, because they spoke Bangla and were most vulnerable to being branded as 'Bangladeshis', he alleged. "I was born in this village," Bhodu claimed, "and so was my daughter. My grandson was born in Delhi". Sonali's brother, Suraj Sheikh, alleged that they paid a lawyer Rs 30,000 after he promised to get his sister and her family released, only to learn later that they had been sent to Bangladesh. "We came home for the Qurbani Eid festival, but now we are too frightened to go back," Suraj's wife, Seema, chipped in. To support his claim that his sister is now in some unknown location in Bangladesh, Suraj played a Facebook video, the authenticity of which PTI could not independently verify, where Sonali and her family, along with three others, and plead with folded hands for help. About a kilometre away in Fakirpara in Paikar, a fledgling rural hamlet that comes alive every Tuesday on account of a cattle trading market that sits there, 30-year-old Amir Khan had a similar story to share. Amir alleged that his sister, Sweety Bibi and her two sons, Qurban Sheikh (16) and Imam Dewan (6), were detained by Delhi Police from the same neighbourhood as Sonali and then deported to Bangladesh on June 27. "My sister worked as a domestic help in that area. She was living in Delhi since she was 12 and wasn't at home when police raided, so they took her elder son instead. When she reached the police station looking for Qurban, they arrested her as well. She furnished Aadhaar cards as proof of their permanent address in Birbhum, which the police dismissed," Amir said. "She had Qurban's birth certificate at home but she couldn't produce it since a devastating fire at the shanty barely days before the raids began had destroyed documents. We, however, have Imam's document here," Amir said, holding up the state health department certificate, which states that Imam was born at the Murarai rural hospital on January 1, 2020. In the purported Facebook video, Sweety alleged that the police beat them up and coerced them into medical examinations and biometric tests before transporting them to Bangladesh. "We haven't heard from them for nearly a month now. We have no idea where they are and how they are living through this in an unknown land," said Mahida Bibi, Sweety's mother, her voice trembling. She claimed Sweety was born at the very house where she stood that once belonged to her grandmother. "We will fight against this till the very end, both politically and legally," said Samirul Islam, TMC Rajya Sabha MP and a local from Murarai, while marching with his party supremo Mamata Banerjee in her 'Bhasha Andolan' protest rally in Bolpur against alleged 'linguistic terror' unleashed on migrant Bengalis by the saffron camp. In a post on X, Islam published photographs of what he claimed were land documents of Sweety's maternal and paternal grandfathers and Sonali's paternal great grandfather - all dated between 1950s, to the 1970s. "Anyone in the BJP who can actually read them will understand that these women are far more Indian than the loudmouth BJP touts slandering them," he wrote. The IIT, Delhi postgraduate informed PTI that he awaited results of the legal battles on the issue pending before the high courts of Calcutta and Delhi. "We will move the Supreme Court, if required," he said. Islam maintained that not just Muslims, but migrant backward class Hindus, like the Namashudra Matuas and Rajbanshis, are also being subjected to similar harassments of detention and deportation. In the Jharkhand bordering village of Kahinagar, Ataul Sheikh (16) and his neighbour, Marjan (17), narrated their ordeal of being held at an Odisha government detention camp earlier this month. "We had gone to Jharsuguda to work as masons in a construction project. On July 8, police came knocking on our doors at 1 a.m. We were first taken to the local police station and then moved to a room at a local college hostel where I was confined for four days," said Ataul, adding that his brother Satabul, too, was held. Marjan, who was detained for two additional days, claimed he saw some 250 migrant workers, all Bengali-speaking, locked up in the camp. "Do only Bangladeshis speak Bengali? Doesn't a significant number of Indians speak that language?" asked Chandni Bibi, Marjan's sister-in law. "By that logic, every Bengali-speaking citizen in Kolkata should also be arrested. It seems we must learn to speak in English now," she quipped.

Attack on hospital receptionist: Court denies bail to main accuseds brother

Agency: PTI Thane, Jul 30 (PTI) The Kalyan sessions court in the district on Wednesday rejected the bail application of Ranjit Bhuleshwar Jha, brother of prime accused Gokul Jha, in a case related to the assault on a woman receptionist at a local hospital. The victim had filed an affidavit opposing Jha's bail application, and also appeared before the court on Tuesday and pleaded that he should not be released. 'If the court grants bail to Gokul's brother Ranjit Jha, he will come out and attack me and my family again," the victim stated in her affidavit filed on Tuesday through her lawyer, advocate Harish Nair. His release could jeopardize the investigation, compromise witnesses and even exert pressure on judicial officers, the woman claimed. The incident had taken place at a children's hospital in Kalyan East earlier this month. As the victim woman was a native Marathi-speaker and the accused migrants, it also acquired political overtones. A video of the incident had gone viral. Ranjit, along with his brother, has been booked under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections 74 (assaulting or using criminal force on a woman with the intent to outrage her modesty), 75 (sexual harassment) and 115 (voluntarily causing hurt). Gokul Jha remains in judicial custody. PTI COR KRK view comments First Published: July 30, 2025, 17:45 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
