Mumbai Court Quashes Summons in Lilavati Hospital Black Magic Case
The Greater Mumbai Sessions Court quashed summons against Niket Vijay Mehta in the Lilavati Hospital black magic case, ruling that finding ritual pots (kalash) buried beneath a floor does not constitute a crime. The complaint, filed by trustee Prashant Mehta, alleged occult practices involving human remains and other materials in the pots. However, the court found no clear evidence on who buried the pots, their timing, or forensic proof linking the materials to illegal acts, leading to dismissal of the summons.
