Vasundhara Oswal, the 26-year-old daughter of Indian billionaire Pankaj Oswal, has been detained in Uganda on various charges, including economic and criminal offenses. Her arrest is linked to an investigation into a missing person, though her family denies these claims. Reports indicate that Oswal was seized by armed men at her family's ethanol plant on October 1. Her family alleges she is being held in poor conditions and has been denied contact with them and legal representation. Pankaj Oswal has appealed to the United Nations for action, claiming her detention stems from false accusations by a former employee. The Oswal family is known for their business ventures and philanthropic efforts.
