Indian Lawyer Vijay Aggarwal Faces Rape and Exploitation Charges in London
Indian lawyer Vijay Aggarwal, detained in London on sexual assault charges, has been additionally accused of rape and facilitating the travel of women for exploitation. His assistant Manpreet Kaur faces similar charges, while a third accused, Hara Tibrewala, denies the allegations and was granted bail. Aggarwal was denied bail due to concerns he might flee before his trial, scheduled for March 2027. The court described the allegations as serious, citing a recruitment scheme targeting young women for exploitative purposes.
