During this period, Apoorva, a friend of my brother, suggested that I consult Dr Munir Khan. My mother was taken to Munir, and he gave her some medicines.

I have visited his house and that's how I know his son Munish and wife Sarosh.Miracle medicineMunir's medicines didn't help my mother's health at all, so I continued her treatment at Nanavati Hospital. Last year, when my mother's condition became serious, Munir came to visit her. This gesture touched me, and I got emotionally attached to him.On October 27, the owner of Bawa International Hotel, Gurinder Bawa had organised for a charter plane for family members and celebrities to attend a wedding in Delhi. It was there that I got a call from Sarosh informing about the raid at Munir's clinic. After that I haven't got any calls from Munir. However, his son Munish called me after he was granted bail, but did not speak of anything in particular.The police asked me about Munir's Mercedes being parked in the society. I am unaware of this. I will inform the police if I receive any calls from Munir or his wife.AbscondingDr Munir claims to have invented a product called Body Revive that purportedly cures all kinds of diseases, including cancer. His Andheri clinic was raided last week, and Munir is currently absconding.
