Alleged Abuse in the Shadows of Luxury The arrest of Indian criminal lawyer Vijay Aggarwal, who represents fugitive diamond businessman Mehul Choksi, has shed light on a disturbing phenomenon that lurks in the shadows of international finance and luxury travel.
The allegations against Aggarwal, charged with four counts of sexual assault against two women at a £2,000 a night serviced town house in Mayfair, have left many wondering how such abuse can occur in one of the world's most affluent cities.
The case is particularly egregious because it involves not only the alleged perpetrator but also his personal assistant, Manpreet Kaur.
