Mumbai Court Halts Trial Against ‘Miracle Doctor’ Over Health
A Mumbai court was hearing a case against Munir Khan, who was called a “miracle doctor.”
He is accused of promoting a medicine called “Body Revival.”
The medicine was allegedly advertised as a cure for cancer, diabetes, and other illnesses.
Police first registered a case against him in 2009.
The Enforcement Directorate later filed a case in 2013.
Khan is in his 70s and has very poor health.
The court said he cannot properly attend the trial right now.
