Mumbai Hospital Allegedly Steals Patient's Gold Kada After Death; Daughters Seek Justice In Viral Post

In a deeply emotional appeal, sisters Gitika Shetty and Parini Shetty have taken to Instagram, alleging that MGM Hospital, CBD Belapur, failed to return their late father’s gold kada after his death.

In a post shared on October 21, the sisters recounted the incident, writing, “On 16th October 2025, my father, Rajendra Vittal Shetty, was admitted to MGM Hospital, CBD Belapur, after a heart attack. A few hours later, we were told he was no more.”

They further explained that their father always wore a gold kada, crafted from their grandmother’s mangalsutra, making it a priceless family heirloom. “It was supposed to be passed on to us as a legacy,” Gitika shared. However, when the hospital returned his belongings, the kada was missing.

“When we asked them to return it, they said it was steel. But it’s clearly visible in the CCTV footage that it’s gold — they’ve even admitted it was misplaced,” the sisters claimed.

Despite repeated follow-ups and emails, they say there has been no response from the hospital authorities. “That kada isn’t just gold to us — it’s a piece of him, of our family,” Gitika wrote, urging people to help reach the authorities.
