Delhi High Court Intervenes as Celina Jaitly Unable to Contact Brother Detained in UAE

The Delhi High Court directed the Ministry of External Affairs to facilitate contact between actress Celina Jaitly and her brother, Major (Retd.) Vikrant Kumar Jaitly, who has been detained in the UAE.

The plea arose after Celina claimed she had not received updates despite approaching the Embassy and using the MADAD portal. The brother’s wife opposed the request, stating that he preferred not to contact her

The Court held that the petitioner is entitled to communicate with her brother and asked the MEA to ensure he is informed that he may reach out.
