New Delhi [India], August 19 (ANI): People close to noted criminal lawyer Vijay Aggarwal have strongly objected to the manner in which his alleged detention in the United Kingdom has been reported in sections of the media, saying there is "nothing on record or in their knowledge" to establish any alleged recovery of money from him or his involvement in any such fraud.
They strongly condemn the manner in which the matter has been reported by a section of the media.
Vijay Aggarwal has represented fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi and has handled some other high-profile cases.
"There is nothing on record or in our knowledge to establish any alleged recovery of money from Aggarwal or his involvement with any such funds. We strongly condemn the manner in which this matter is being reported and portrayed as a money-related case. There is nothing on record to suggest any recovery of money from Vijay Aggarwal or his involvement with any such money," a person close Aggarwal told ANI.
Family members of Aggarwal also said that the matter should be reported only on the basis of verified information.
Aggarwal has so far not publicly commented on the matter. People close to him said the circumstances surrounding the alleged detention should not be linked to unverified claims of cash recovery.
Reports in a section of the media said Aggarwal was detained by British immigration authorities in London over alleged immigration violations. (ANI)
