Tobacco Baron Accuses Mother of Attack as Rs 110000 Crore Family Dispute Gets Worse

New Delhi: Samir Modi, the executive director of Godfrey Phillips, accused his mother of planning an attack on him, reported the Economic Times. This worsened the Rs 11,000 crore inheritance family dispute among the late K.K. Modi’s family members.

Samir Modi registered a complaint with the Delhi Police on Friday, accusing his mother Bina Modi, her personal security officer (PSO) and some Godfrey Phillips directors of causing him “grievous hurt” with the PSO holding his hand and twisting it, when he tried to enter the scheduled board meeting of Godfrey Phillips at Jasola in Delhi.

His mother had previously offered to purchase his stake in the company.

Modi wrote in his complaint that his right-hand index finger was broken into two and required a screw and wire to be put together, with doctors telling that his finger will never be fully functional again.

But a Godfrey Phillips spokesperson rejected the accusation terming them entirely false and atrocious.

The dispute among the family members is regarding the distribution of Rs 11,000 crore inheritance after the death of KK Modi in 2019.
