Jaitly has put in a lot of effort to bring back her brother, Major (Retd.) Vikrant Jaitly, who has been detained in the UAE. The Delhi High Court heard the Bollywood actress's petition regarding her brother's detention. The latest update on this case is that the matter was heard before Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav, while CSGC Nidhi Raman spoke for the ministry. The advocate informed the court that Vikrant is regularly interacting, and the next interaction will take place on February 13. The Delhi HC also shut down Celina and her sister-in-law Charul Jaitly's clash, insisting that they should work together.

Update on Vikrant Jaitly's detention case

After Major Vikrant was detained, his sister Celina contacted the Ministry of External Affairs to free him. According to Indian Express, the MEA informed the Delhi High Court about their contact with Vikrant and the UAE authorities. It has been mentioned that Vikrant chose to interact with his wife Charul, but not his sister Celina. Charul's attorney informed the court that their client has been with Vikrant throughout this crisis.

As per Press Trust of India (PTI) report, the Ministry of External Affairs will now give Celina's brother an option of four attorneys to choose from. The actress also appeared before the court and stated that she chose to take care of her brother's case despite going through a divorce. Additionally, Celina mentioned that she brought the matter to the court because Charul apparently 'stonewalled' her.On the other hand, Charul joined via video call and responded in affirmation when asked if she wants her husband to be released. The court further questioned Charul as to why she hadn't authorised in the UAE to represent her husband Major Vikrant. That's when she alleged that Celina doesn't have all the information and that the actress was kept in loop since 2024.

After hearing both, the Delhi HC shut their respective plea, stating that it wasn't a 'family dispute'. It was pointed out that Vikrant is the main concern for which Celina and Charul will have to work together.

What did Charul Jaitly tell Delhi HC?

As per the news agency report, Charul requested the Delhi High Court to restrict reporting on her husband's detention case. However, the court dismissed it stating that there cannot be any gag order on the media. Major Vikrant's wife also mentioned that her husband's case was made a 'media joke.'For the unversed, Major Vikrant has been detained since September 2024.
