In the past Mosque leaders have denied any involvement after two doctors were criminally charged. Both doctors face up to life in prison if convicted.
They all attend a Mosque in Farmington Hills and are members of the Dawoodi Bohra Community based in India.
The new bombshell could also be in connection with the feds announcing last week that as many as 100 girls have had FGM performed on them.
A new member of the defense team for Dr. Nagarwala, Mayer Morganroth says he disputes that.
He says the government is turning the children into victims by working to remove them from their parents in several pending cases.
