A Mumbai court has refused to discharge city mayor and BJP corporator Rita Tawde in the 2016 assault case against two school teachers, citing the victims’ statements as sufficient material to make “charges” against her.
Other witnesses also said that Ms Tawde assaulted the teacher, Additional Sessions Judge YP Manathka noted in a judgment on Tuesday (March 17, 2026).
