Delhi HC intervenes in case of Celina Jaitly’s brother held in the UAE

admin

The Delhi High Court has taken up the case on its own initiative involving Major (Retd.) Vikrant Kumar Jaitly, brother of Bollywood actress Celina Jaitly, who has been detained in the United Arab Emirates since September 2024. On November 3, 2025, the court issued directives to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and other relevant Union authorities to ensure that Vikrant receives effective legal representation and that his family is kept fully informed about his status and legal proceedings abroad. Justice Sachin Datta, presiding over the matter, heard the case in the presence of Celina Jaitly, who appeared personally in court. The court issued a notice to the Union of India and mandated the appointment of a nodal officer who will act as a communication bridge between the Jaitly family and the UAE authorities. The nodal officer is tasked with providing regular updates on Vikrant’s condition, legal status, and any developments in the case. Celina brought to the court’s attention the lack of sufficient consular access since her brother’s alleged detention on September 6, 2024. Vikrant, who has been residing in the UAE since 2016 and working with a trading and risk management firm, was reportedly taken into custody under unclear circumstances. Celina expressed the emotional difficulty caused by the limited communication and absence of clear information about her brother’s welfare. The court directed the government to submit a detailed status report on Major Jaitly’s condition and legal proceedings before the next hearing scheduled for December 4, 2025. The bench emphasised the importance of maintaining contact between Vikrant and his family, as well as ensuring that his legal rights are upheld. On the occasion of Bhai Dooj earlier this year, Celina Jaitly posted a heartfelt message for her brother, reflecting the strong family bond amidst the ongoing hardship.

Zubeen Garg Death: Brahmaputra Valley Film Festival postponed as Assam mourns its cultural icon

admin

In the wake of the tragic demise of Assam’s celebrated singer Zubeen Garg, the organisers of the Brahmaputra Valley Film Festival (BVFF) have announced the postponement of its 10th edition. The film festival, originally scheduled for December 4-7, 2025, will now be held in 2026, as a gesture of respect during a period of collective mourning. According to the festival statement, “It is with a heavy heart that the 10th edition of the Brahmaputra Valley Film Festival, originally scheduled for December 4-7, 2025, has been postponed to a later date in 2026. This decision comes as Assam mourns the loss of its most beloved cultural icon Zubeen Garg, whose voice and vision defined generations. BVFF stands in solidarity with the people and the creative community.”They further added, “As a festival deeply rooted in the cultural and emotional fabric of this land, we feel it is only right to pause our celebrations this year, in remembrance and respect. We are deeply grateful to our filmmakers, partners, and audience for their continued support and understanding. Refunds for all submissions will be processed in due course. BVFF Team.”The decision has resonated deeply in Assam, where Zubeen Garg was considered more than an artist he was a symbol of cultural pride. His passing earlier this year in Singapore has triggered widespread grief, protest, and intense scrutiny of the circumstances surrounding his death. Meanwhile, the legal and investigative fronts have seen swift actions. Authorities have arrested five individuals including the festival organiser, Garg’s manager, his cousin (a police officer), and his security personnel and sent them into 14-day judicial custody. Tension flared outside Baksa District Jail when crowds gathered and reportedly hurled stones and sandals at the police convoy, with several vehicles in the vicinity set ablaze. The BVFF organisers’ move to defer the festival underscores the magnitude of the loss: the creative community in Assam is not simply pausing an event, but collectively mourning a figure whose legacy transcended the stage. More details on the rescheduled dates and refunds are expected in the coming months. Also Read : Zubeen Garg’s manager arrested in singer’s death caseb.
