Bollywood actress Celina Jaitly's brother, Major (Retd.) Vikrant Kumar Jaitly, has been detained in the UAE since September 2024 under unclear circumstances related to a national security case. After over 14 months without clear updates or verified communication, Celina petitioned the Delhi High Court seeking legal and medical assistance for him. The Delhi High Court has now intervened, directing the Ministry of External Affairs and the Union Government to ensure that Vikrant receives proper legal representation and that his family is kept informed about his status. The court appointed a nodal officer to facilitate communication between Vikrant and his family and ordered a status report from the government by December 4, 2025. Celina described the court's order as a "ray of hope" after a prolonged fight for justice, expressing relief that legal access and communication with her brother will be enabled[1][2][3][7][9][11]. Key details: - Vikrant Kumar Jaitly has been detained in Abu Dhabi since September 2024. - He had been living and working in the UAE since 2016. - Celina Jaitly has been unable to contact her brother for over a year. - The High Court emphasized his need for legal aid and family updates. - The government must provide a status report and appoint a nodal officer. - Further hearing is scheduled for December 4, 2025. This legal intervention marks an important step in addressing the prolonged detention and lack of communication, potentially opening pathways for due process and family contact[1][3][7].
