New Delhi: In a high-profile event that has stirred controversy, fugitive Lalit Modi, the founder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and wanted by Indian law enforcement agencies for alleged financial irregularities and tax evasion dating back to 2010, attended the wedding of former Solicitor General of India, Harish Salve, in London. Harish Salve, a prominent legal expert with close ties to the Indian government, married Trina in a grand ceremony, marking his third marriage.

The wedding celebration, which took place in London, garnered attention not only for its opulence but also due to the presence of Lalit Modi among the guests. Attendees at the event included Reliance Foundation chairperson Nita Ambani, supermodel Ujjawala Raut, and other prominent figures.

Harish Salve, aged 68, had previously been married twice, to Meenakshi Salve and Caroline Brossard. His divorce from Meenakshi Salve in June 2020 marked the end of a 38-year marriage. The couple has two daughters, Sakshi and Saaniya. Subsequently, Salve married Caroline Brossard later in 2020.

Salve is currently part of the legal team representing the Government of India in the ongoing Supreme Court hearing on Article 370. He is also a member of the "One National One Election Panel." His legal career is distinguished by his involvement in high-profile cases, including representing Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries in the Krishna Godavari Basin gas dispute against Reliance Natural Resources Limited, owned by Anil Ambani.

However, the presence of Lalit Modi at the wedding has sparked significant criticism on social media. Netizens expressed their disapproval and raised questions about the ethics of his attendance, given his fugitive status and the pending allegations against him. They noted the irony of a fugitive attending an event alongside one of India's most influential legal experts with close government connections.

Critics on social media pointed out the potential consequences and ethical implications of such associations, particularly in light of Lalit Modi's legal troubles. Furthermore, they highlighted the suspension of Rahul Gandhi from parliament for referring to Lalit Modi as a thief, emphasizing the sensitivities surrounding his attendance at the wedding.

The controversy surrounding the wedding has ignited discussions and debates on social media platforms, as users share their opinions and concerns regarding the event's implications and the message it conveys.
