Sister's Plea: Actor Jaitly Fights for Brother's Freedom
16 Dec
Summary
- Actor Celina Jaitly is seeking contact with her detained brother in Abu Dhabi.
- She expressed deep distress over his absence on his birthday.
- Indian authorities are involved in legal and diplomatic efforts for his release.
Actor Celina Jaitly is actively campaigning for her brother, Major Vikrant Kumar Jaitly (Retired), who has been held in Abu Dhabi since September 2024. As his birthday passed, Jaitly took to social media to share her longing for his return and her ongoing efforts to connect with him. She described his absence as one of the most distressing experiences of her life, highlighting the profound emotional impact on her family.
Jaitly's public messages, including an Instagram post featuring a collage of her brother, conveyed deep love and pride. She vowed not to give up on him until he is safely back in India, referring to him affectionately as her "baby brother." These appeals underscore the personal toll of his detention and the strong familial bond.
Legal and diplomatic channels are actively pursuing Major Jaitly's case. The Delhi High Court has urged the Ministry of External Affairs to facilitate consular access and explore all communication platforms to connect him with his sister. The next hearing on his detention and access is scheduled for December 23, with ongoing engagement from Indian authorities.
