New Delhi: The Delhi Police have arrested fugitive businessman and former IPL chief Lalit Modi’s brother Samir Modi on rape charges. The arrest was made at the Indira Gandhi International Airport on Thursday evening.
The complainant is a former employee of Godfrey Phillips who has alleged that Samir Modi sexually assaulted her repeatedly since 2019. Based on the woman’s complaint, a case of rape and criminal intimidation was registered and Samir Modi was arrested. The woman had alleged that the incident took place earlier.
Who is Samir Modi
Samir Modi is the founder and managing director of Modicare, a direct selling company. The younger Modi has also faced legal battles tied to the governance struggle. He was acquitted in May of defamation charges brought by three former independent directors of Godfrey Phillips, who had accused him of tarnishing their reputations during the dispute.
The Modi family saga has been closely watched in corporate circles, both for its implications on one of the country’s leading consumer businesses and for its echoes of dynastic infighting that has reshaped several of family-owned conglomerates.
