Vijay Aggarwal, an Indian attorney recognized for his legal defense of businessman Mehul Choksi, is currently facing serious criminal charges in London. According to reports, Aggarwal has been charged with rape and sexual assault. The case is being handled within the British judicial system, where he appeared in court to face these allegations.

While the charges have been confirmed by legal reporting, details regarding the specific circumstances of the alleged incidents or the current status of his bail or detention remain limited. Aggarwal is primarily known in India for his work on high-profile financial crime cases, most notably representing Mehul Choksi, who is wanted in India in connection with the Punjab National Bank fraud case. The intersection of his high-profile legal work and these personal criminal charges has drawn significant attention, though the charges themselves are distinct from his professional duties as a defense attorney. As the case proceeds through the London court system, further details regarding the prosecution's evidence and the defense's response are expected to emerge.
