After a Twitter thread referring to improper behaviour by a doctor of Nanavati Hospital went viral, the hospital, taking a serious note of the incident, has suspended the doctor and also initiated an inquiry against him. On the other hand, the doctor has refuted the allegations and said the truth will come out during the investigation.

The incident came to light after screenwriter Darab Farooqui Tweeted on March 31, "We were startled to hear loud screams and shouts coming from Room 5. Suddenly, the door burst open, and a girl screamed, her face flushed with rage. What kind of hospital is this, she screamed, where doctors are touching a girl improperly in a room? This is how you do check ups?' she said."

A spokesperson of Nanavati Hospital said, "An alleged case of inappropriate behaviour by one of the hospital's doctors has been brought to our attention. While, no formal complaint has been lodged with us, we have initiated an investigation by an internal committee to ascertain the facts. Senior police inspector, Santa Cruz police station, Dnyaneshwar Ganore, said, "No one has approached us to file a complaint till now. If the victim comes to us, we will help her."
