 "Actress Celina Jaitly pens a note for her brother, an Indian army veteran who was in detainment: ‘For one year I have searched for answers…’")
Bollywood actress Celina Jaitly has penned a note for her brother who happens to be an Indian army veteran, Major (Retd.) Vikrant Kumar Jaitly. He was a victim of an enforced disappearance for nine months followed by detainment.
Celina then knocked the doors of the Honorable Delhi High Court and it seems her prayers have been answered and justice shall prevail soon.
The actress wrote a long note on X that read: “Standing for a Soldier:A Ray of Hope from the Delhi High Court in the Case of Major (Retd.) Vikrant Kumar Jaitly
