Delhi High Court Quashes Assault Case Against Bina Modi and Others

The Delhi High Court quashed a criminal case against industrialist Bina Modi, her security guard Surendra Prasad, and lawyer Lalit Bhasin related to the alleged assault of her son, Samir Modi, during a 2024 board meeting. The case arose from an FIR accusing Prasad of assaulting Samir on Bina's instructions, resulting in a broken finger. After a settlement between the parties and Samir's withdrawal of the complaint, the court dismissed the case. Earlier, the trial court had found prima facie evidence against Bina and Bhasin, but the police had named only Prasad as the prime accused.
