Samir Modi, brother of fugitive businessman and former IPL chief Lalit Modi, was arrested by the Delhi Police at Indira Gandhi International Airport on Thursday evening in a case alleging rape and criminal intimidation.
A senior police official told Hindustan Times that a woman approached the police five days ago and filed a complaint against Samir Modi. Based on her statement, a case was registered and he was taken into custody. The complainant alleged the incident occurred earlier.
Samir Modi is the founder and managing director of Modicare, a direct selling company.
He was also in the news last year over an inheritance dispute with his mother, Bina Modi. In June 2024, as reported by Hindustan Times, he sought protection from the Delhi Police, citing threats from his mother amid a family feud.
The dispute stems from the distribution of a ₹11,000-crore inheritance following the 2019 death of family patriarch KK Modi. Samir Modi had moved the Supreme Court, alleging his mother did not distribute the funds as per the trust deed executed by his father.
