Vasundhara Oswal was falsely charged with the kidnapping and murder of Mukesh Menaria, a former employee of her father, Pankaj Oswal, last year. She was arrested on October 1, 2024, and was granted bail on October 21. She claimed that the Uganda police kept the charges on her even though Menaria was found alive and later reduced the charge to misdemeanour confinement after taking money from her family. She said she is reviewing all possible legal remedies at the moment for all that she went through in prison. She wants the Ugandan government to correct its mistakes and said she was not allowed to use the washroom as some sort of punishment. Her parents had to bribe police officers through lawyers to bring her food, water and basic necessities, she said. She also claimed that she was kept in a prison for persons arrested for petty crimes and later shifted to a facility housing convicted murderers and human traffickers. The case was dismissed on December 19, 2024 and her passport was returned on December 10.
