Bollywood Star's Plea: Free My Brother From UAE Jail
6 Feb
Summary
- Celina Jaitly appeals to PM Modi for her brother's release.
- Her brother has been detained in the UAE for over 18 months.
- Delhi High Court ordered legal representation for the detained officer.
Bollywood actor Celina Jaitly has urgently appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to help secure the release of her brother, Major (Retired) Vikrant Kumar Jaitly. He has been in detention in the United Arab Emirates for more than 18 months, with his family struggling to obtain clarity on the reasons for his prolonged custody.
Major Jaitly, a former Indian Army Special Forces officer, was reportedly detained from a mall parking area and is now held at the Al-Wathba Detention Centre in Abu Dhabi. Celina Jaitly expressed her concern over the lack of prosecution and legal aid, emphasizing her brother's dedicated service to the country. She conveyed a message of support to him, vowing to 'move mountains' for his return.
A significant development occurred when the Delhi High Court permitted her brother to be represented by a UAE-based legal firm. The court directed the Ministry of External Affairs to issue the necessary authorization for the law firm to represent Major Jaitly. The next hearing is scheduled for February 10.
