Lalit Modi’s Brother Samir Modi Arrested At Delhi Airport On Rape Charges

Samir Modi, brother of fugitive businessman and former IPL chief Lalit Modi, was arrested by Delhi Police at the Indira Gandhi International Airport on Thursday evening on charges of rape and criminal intimidation.

According to a report by Hindustan Times a woman had approached authorities five days ago and lodged a complaint against Samir. Based on her statement, a case was registered, and the arrest was carried out. The complainant alleged that the incident had taken place earlier.

Samir Modi is the founder and managing director of Modicare, a direct selling company. He has also been in the spotlight previously due to a high-profile inheritance dispute with his mother, Bina Modi. In June 2024, Samir sought police protection, claiming he faced threats from his mother amid the family conflict.

The feud traces back to the distribution of a ₹11,000-crore inheritance following the death of family patriarch KK Modi in 2019. Samir had taken the matter to the Supreme Court, accusing his mother of failing to distribute the estate in line with the trust deed executed by his late father.
