Singh Brothers Come To Blows: Fortis’ Malvinder Alleges Assault By Brother Who Claims He ‘Wouldn’t Hurt A Bird’

Malvinder Singh of Fortis Healthcare has accused his brother and business partner, Shivinder Mohan Singh, of physically assaulting him in the company’s corporate office in Connaught Place (New Delhi), as reported by Economic Times (ET).

However, the other party has disavowed such claims by Mr Malvinder and termed them as ‘lies.’ Also, sources on Mr Shivinder’s side assert that he ‘wouldn’t hurt a bird.’

“Today is December 5, 2018. A little after 6 pm Shivinder Mohan Singh assaulted me at 55, Hanuman road. He physically hit me. He hurt me. He injured me here. He broke this button and bruised me here. He kept threatening me. And, Refused to budge until team here separated him from me,” said Mr Malvinder in a video aired by Economic Times.

The tension between the brothers has been simmering since they lost control of Fortis Healthcare and Religare Enterprises. Preceding this, they also had to take a backseat in Ranbaxy, one of India’s most successful pharma companies.

In September 2018, Shivinder Singh withdrew his petition against his elder brother, Malvinder Singh, over mismanagement in the affairs of the parent company, RHC Holdings.

It was reported in March 2018 that SFIO (Serious Fraud Investigation Office), under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, has opened an investigation into Fortis for alleged irregularities.
