Celina Jaitly's Real-Life 'Jigra' Battle: Fighting for Brother's Release from UAE Detention

• Actor Celina Jaitly is fighting to free her brother, Major (Retd) Vikrant Kumar Jaitly, from "arbitrary detention" in the UAE for 17 months.
• Vikrant, a retired Special Forces officer and former UN peacekeeper, was picked up in September 2024; his whereabouts were unknown for nine months.
• Celina's struggle began amid a difficult marriage in Austria, which she left to advocate for her brother, facing lack of support from friends and family.
• She approached the Delhi High Court with a writ of habeas corpus, leading to the disclosure of her brother's location and a prosecution number.
• The Delhi High Court has allowed a UAE-based legal firm to represent Vikrant, and Celina has appealed to PM Narendra Modi for his release.
