Lawyer Vijay Aggarwal Faces Sexual Assault and Rape Allegations in UK Court
Criminal lawyer Vijay Aggarwal, who represented fugitive businessman Mehul Choksi, faces multiple sexual assault charges, including an additional allegation of rape, in London. He and his assistant, Manpreet Kaur, charged with assisting sexual assault, appeared at Southwark Crown Court and remain in custody pending a trial set for March 15 next year. The Crown Prosecution Service cited the case's complexity and ongoing investigations involving multiple complainants, delaying indictment filing. Aggarwal's defense highlighted his good character and requested detailed charge information to support a bail application.
