Businessman Samir Modi, brother of former IPL chairman Lalit Modi, has been remanded to two days of police custody in connection with a rape case as directed by a Delhi court.
He was detained at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport following a Look Out Circular (LOC) issued by the New Friends Colony police station and subsequently arrested.
According to officials, a woman approached the police five days ago and lodged a complaint against Samir Modi, leading to the registration of an FIR on September 10, 2025.
The complainant alleged that she had been in a relationship with him since 2019 and accused him of rape and criminal intimidation.
The FIR states that the alleged incident took place earlier, though details remain undisclosed. Meanwhile, Samir Modi’s statement has dismissed the accusations, calling them “motivated by an ulterior motive of extracting money.”
Police said further investigation is underway while Samir Modi remains in custody for questioning.
