Businessman Samir Modi was arrested at Delhi Airport on Thursday on a charge of rape in a 2019 case, police said. He was back from a foreign trip when he was arrested by police in Delhi. Here is all you need to know about Samir Modi and the charges against him. Why was Samir Modi arrested? Delhi police arrested Samir Modi on Thursday in connection with a rape case in 2019, officials said. According to the fir submitted on September 10, the woman claimed that Samir has repeatedly raped, cheated and threatened since 2019. He forced himself to the victim later in December 2019 at his new Friends Colony home. The woman complained that she was constantly facing life threats if she revealed the abuse, police said. Samir Modi allegedly used his influence to quiet her through intimidation and false insurance, they added. The woman was constantly harassed, assaulted and extortion under false promises of marriage, despite knowing he was already married. Further investigation into the case is underway, police said. He is also the founder and managing director of Modicare, a direct selling business, and the managing director of Modi Enterprises. He was in the news last year about a heritage dispute with his mother, Bina Modi. In June 2024, he approached Delhi police to seek protection and demanded that his mother be claimed in the midst of the ongoing family. Samir Modi’s lawyer denies the Samir Modi charges have been arrested after a circular (LOC) was made against him by the new Friends Colony police. His advice said that the woman has been in a relationship with the businessman since 2019 and that he is now declining and blackmailing him. “She claims that she has been in relation to Samir Modi since 2019. On August 8 and 13, Samir Modi lodged complaints with various police officers for extortion and extortion by the lady. It was supported by the WhatsApp chats between them where she asked for an amount of £ 50,” they said in a statement. They described the episode as a ‘clear matter of abuse of the provisions of law and also hasty acts of the police to make as arrest without verifying the facts’.
