Celina Jaitly Fights For Detained Brother in UAE
Celina Jaitly's brother, who used to be an army officer, was taken by authorities in a country called the UAE.
This happened about 14 months ago.
His sister doesn't know exactly why he was taken, but people think it might be because of national security.
For a long time, she didn't even know if he was okay or where he was.
Now, she has gone to a big court in India to ask the government to help find out what's happening.
She wants the government to help her talk to her brother and make sure he is getting help.
She says she doesn't need to know the exact reasons anymore, she just wants him back home safely.
Celina Jaitly's brother, retired army officer Major Vikrant Kumar Jaitly, has been detained in the UAE since September 2024.
The detention is reportedly due to alleged national security concerns, with specific charges remaining unclear.
Jaitly has had no communication or legal representation during his detainment, which his family calls unlawful.
Celina Jaitly has filed a petition in the Delhi High Court seeking legal and medical assistance for her brother.
The court has directed the government to file a status report and appoint a nodal officer to facilitate assistance and contact.
