He received and accepted an offer to become a public prosecutor in 1964, which became a turning point in the young man's career.

Nanavati has stated that evidence indicated that it was a "lapse on part of the civil administration" not to call the Indian Army in a timely fashion, "resulting in large-scale rioting and loss of lives".
