Sheetal Mafatlal detained at airport

Mafatlal,who had arrived in the city by a British Airways flight,landed on Sunday afternoon and was immediately detained by AIU officials. She remained in detention all evening as officials estimated the value of the jewellery she was carrying.

The AIU reportedly had a tip-off that she was in possession of diamonds worth Rs 1 crore. Details about the charges against her are still to be made public.

The Mafatlals have been caught in a controversial feud over division of family property for the past few years. Sheetal,who is married to Atulya Mafatlal,has in fact shied away from social functions and the Page 3 circuit since the tussle between him and his mother Madhuri became public.
