Palghar Hospital Violence: MLA's Son and 13 Others Arrested; High Court Criticises Investigation

The High Court has criticised the investigation into the Palghar hospital violence incident, finding fault with the manner in which the probe has been conducted. The bench expressed concern over the "lackadaisical" approach adopted during the inquiry, citing deficiencies from the preparation of the panchnama to the maintenance of station case diary entries.

Fourteen individuals, including the son of a local MLA, have been arrested in connection with the incident. The court's remarks highlight procedural lapses in the handling of the case, raising questions about the investigation's credibility and thoroughness.
