The Delhi High Court on Monday (April 27, 2026) quashed a criminal case against industrialist Bina Modi, her personal security guard Surendra Prasad and senior lawyer Lalit Bhasin in connection with the alleged assault of her son Samir Modi during a board meeting in 2024.
Former Godfrey Phillips India executive director, Samir, appearing through video conference, told Justice Saurabh Banerjee that he has withdrawn complaint against his mother, Bina, and two others.
The court was dealing with a petition of Bina, Bhasin and Prasad, who sought the quashing of the case after a settlement was reached between them and Samir. Earlier, Bina, Prasad and Bhasin had moved the high court, seeking a stay on the trial court’s proceedings in the case.
The case stems from an FIR filed in June 2024, alleging that Prasad, acting on Bina’s instructions, assaulted Samir when he was trying to enter a board meeting at the GPI office. Samir claimed that his right-hand index finger was broken during the incident.
