Ozone hospital in Nalasopara has been flooded with calls since a photograph of Shraddha Walker's injured face went viral on social media, with reports saying she was admitted in December 2020 after being assaulted by her live-in partner Aftab Poonawala.

However, Ozone hospital director told mid-day that "there were no injuries as seen in the photograph" during her stay there from December 3 to 6. Dr Atul Paraskar said it was a routine admission, "but the media has been calling us to know if she was assaulted by Poonawala". “Walkar was admitted with the complaint of back ache and spondylitis. She did not tell our orthopaedic doctor that she had been beaten up or assaulted. If she had, we would have certainly informed the police to make it a medico-legal case (MLC),” Dr Paraskar said.
