Aroor challenged Mhatre’s explanation against the footage; Mhatre denied attacking the doctor and defended his actions. Read NDTV’s original account ↗

Protection and accountability belong together
Supporting healthcare workers against violence is compatible with scrutinising clinical conduct. A complaint deserves a fair process; it does not justify an assault. This section recognises the specific interview above and does not assign a position to the journalist on every medical controversy.
