The Delhi High Court has announced its plan to conduct a video conference with retired Major Vikrant Jetli, who has been arrested in Abu Dhabi, as part of ongoing legal proceedings regarding his case. The court has requested clarification from the central government on the arrangements that would facilitate this direct communication. This interaction aims to determine whether Vikrant seeks assistance from his sister, actress Selina Jetli, or his wife for the next steps in his legal situation.

Additionally, both the High Court and the parties involved have been instructed to refrain from discussing the matter with the media, emphasizing the sensitivity and complexity of the situation. The next hearing regarding Vikrant Jetli’s case is scheduled for February 12, highlighting the urgency surrounding the need for consular access—a request put forth by Selina Jetli on behalf of her brother, who remains in custody in Abu Dhabi.

In previous court sessions, the Delhi High Court directed the Ministry of External Affairs to appoint a nodal officer to handle the situation surrounding Vikrant Jetli’s arrest. This development raises significant implications for diplomatic relations and legal processes regarding Indian nationals facing legal challenges abroad, particularly in sensitive regions such as the UAE.
