Delhi High Court Quashes Assault Case Against Bina Modi and Others After Settlement

The Delhi High Court quashed a criminal case filed by Samir Modi against his mother, industrialist Bina Modi, her security guard Surendra Prasad, and lawyer Lalit Bhasin, following a settlement between the parties. The case originated from a June 2024 FIR alleging Prasad assaulted Samir during a board meeting at Godfrey Phillips India, causing a finger injury. While Prasad was named the prime accused, Bina and Bhasin were initially cleared. The trial court had found prima facie evidence against all three before the High Court's quashing.
