Mumbai's Lilavati Hospital faces a major scandal involving former trustees allegedly misappropriating over Rs 1,500 crore. Complaints, uncovered during a forensic audit, include charges of black magic practices and financial irregularities. Investigations are underway by the Enforcement Directorate and the Economic Offences Wing regarding these serious allegations.

In a shocking revelation, Mumbai's famed Lilavati Hospital is embroiled in a scandal involving the alleged misappropriation of over Rs 1,500 crore by former trustees. This startling accusation was brought forward by the Lilavati Kirtilal Mehta Medical Trust (LKMMT) after a forensic audit exposed significant financial irregularities.

Beyond financial misconduct, the trust has also alleged that black magic rituals were performed on hospital premises, with reports of discovering urns containing human remains. The Bandra Magistrate Court has since ordered a full investigation into these accusations, marking a major step in upholding the trust's integrity.

Prashant Mehta, a permanent resident trustee, has emphasized the trust's commitment to safeguarding its reputation and ensuring funds are used for patient care. The Enforcement Directorate and the Economic Offences Wing are actively probing the charges, with additional investigations in Gujarat relating to theft from the hospital's facilities.
