Indian-origin Billionaire Pankaj Oswal moves UN after daughter detained in Uganda
New Delhi, October 19, 2024: Indian-origin Billionaire Pankaj Oswal has submitted an appeal to the United Nations regarding the purported unlawful detention of his 26-year-old daughter in Uganda.
Vasundhara Oswal was apprehended by approximately 20 armed individuals, who failed to present any identification or warrant, at her extra-neutral alcohol (ENA) facility in Uganda.
She was taken into custody on October 1, allegedly in connection with a case involving a missing person. Earlier this week, an urgent appeal was submitted to the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD).
Recently, a post on Vasundhara's Instagram handle detailed her "unlawful detainment and arrest" and shared pictures of the place and the condition in which she has been detained.
The post claimed she was compelled to remain in a room filled with shoes for more than 90 hours, during which she was prohibited from bathing or changing her clothing for almost five days. She was deprived of essential needs, such as clean water and adequate food, provided only with a small bench for sleeping.
