Vasundhara Oswal, a billionaire heiress, has been detained in a Ugandan prison since October 1 on charges of kidnapping and murder. Her family claims the charges are false and linked to business rivalries. Despite a recent court granting her bail, authorities have not released her. Oswal's sister reported that Vasundhara has faced harsh conditions, including lack of food, water, and hygiene. She was held for over 90 hours without basic necessities and is currently living in unsanitary conditions, with limited access to vegetarian food and cold water for bathing. Vasundhara is reportedly housed with convicted murderers, which raises safety concerns. Her family continues to advocate for her release, citing illegal detention practices and the absence of evidence against her.
