Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW) is stepping up the probe into alleged large-scale financial irregularities—reportedly involving ₹1,300–1,500 crore—by the former trustees of the Lilavati Kirtilal Mehta Medical Trust. As part of this deeper investigation, they will now formally seek records from the Charity Commissioner’s office to uncover any previous complaints or audit red flags regarding the trust .

The EOW has taken over after three FIRs were filed in March from Bandra police station, reportedly covering misappropriation of funds between 2006–2013 through unlawful procurement, offshore transactions, and fraudulent investments.The upcoming request to the Charity Commissioner may reveal prior audits that flagged irregularities, helping to strengthen or challenge the allegations.

• Police will review past financial statements and audit reports from the trust’s Charity Commissioner files.
• This information could lead to expanding the FIRs, naming additional accused, or forming the basis for criminal charges.

Let me know if you want a full timeline of the FIRs, more on the audit findings, or details on the key individuals involved.
