The trust has lodged complaints with the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Bandra Police Station, leading to multiple FIRs, reports The Times of India. The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) has also begun investigating a ₹85 crore cheating case against three former trustees, who allegedly used fake documents to gain control of the trust and misused hospital funds for personal legal expenses under the guise of medical equipment procurement.
According to Permanent Resident Trustee Prashant Mehta, the forensic audit—conducted by Chetan Dalal Investigation and Management Services and ADB and Associates—found more than Rs 1,500 crore was siphoned off by former trustees, most of whom are NRIs residing in Dubai and Belgium. The TOI report said that the audit uncovered multiple financial irregularities, including Rs 1,200 crore allegedly misappropriated through illegal third-party hospital procurement deals.

Adding an eerie twist to the case, Mehta claimed black magic rituals were conducted on the hospital premises. “We discovered more than seven urns containing human hair and skulls, indicating occult practices,” he said. The trust has also filed a fourth complaint in the Bandra Magistrate Court specifically regarding these rituals.
The Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing is investigating the financial fraud, and the Enforcement Directorate has been requested to probe these allegations under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
“We are committed to upholding the integrity of Lilavati Hospital and ensuring that funds meant for healthcare services are used solely for the benefit of patients,” Mehta stated, vowing to hold all involved individuals accountable.
