Samir Modi's Bail Hearing Set for Monday; Counsel Questions LOC
Delhi Court To Hear Samir Modi's Bail Plea On Monday; Counsel Questions LOC Issued Within 5 Days Of FIR · republicworld.com

Samir Modi, brother of fugitive businessman Lalit Modi, has been arrested and is in police custody.

He's facing accusations of rape.

His lawyers are arguing for his release on bail.

The police have responded to his bail request, and the court will hear arguments on Monday.

A key point of contention is how quickly a Look-out Circular (LOC) was issued after the police complaint was filed.

His counsel also requested the police to look into a complaint filed by Modi alleging extortion by the complainant.

The court is also questioning how the LOC was issued so fast.

The hearing was partially held in private because the case involves sensitive details.
