Vasundhara Oswal, a key figure in East Africa's ethanol production industry and a successful businesswoman, has been detained in Uganda over alleged false allegations. Her family claims that she is being targeted because of corporate jealousy and that the accusations are unfounded. Despite her achievements and contributions to the global expansion of her family's business, the 26-year-old has been held in custody since October 1. The family is appealing to the United Nations for her release and maintains that she is innocent.
Pankaj Oswal, a Swiss industrialist, has filed an urgent appeal with the United Nations alleging the illegal detention of his daughter, Vasundhara Oswal, in Uganda. The 26-year-old was seized by twenty armed men at her father's extra-neutral alcohol plant, with no identification or warrant provided. Vasundhara's social media posts detail the inhumane conditions she was subjected to during her detainment, along with claims of corporate jealousy and extortion by a 68-year-old man. The family has also claimed that Vasundhara was denied access to proper food, water, and legal counsel.
