Capital Mind CEO Deepak Shenoy on Hinduja Family Verdict: ‘Justice Delivered’
In a significant legal ruling, four members of the affluent Hinduja family were convicted of “illegally exploiting poorly paid servants” at their opulent Swiss mansion in Geneva. The convicted include Ajay Hinduja, his wife Namrata, and his elderly parents, Prakash Hinduja (78) and Kamal Hinduja (75). Due to their ill health, the elder Hindujas were not present at the trial and received sentences of 4.5 years in jail. Ajay and Namrata, who were also absent from the court, were handed sentences slightly shorter than four years, according to Bloomberg.

Capital Mind CEO Deepak Shenoy shared his thoughts on the case on social media, stating, “Justice has been served. Even a rich family like the Hindujas can’t get away from employment protection; you can’t withhold passports, lock people in your house, make them work 18 hours per day, and still pay them peanuts. Jail terms and fines in Switzerland for the Hindujas.” This post, shared on June 22, has garnered over one lakh views, more than 1,300 likes, and numerous comments.
The case revolves around the Hinduja family’s treatment of employees recruited from India, who were given salaries far below the standard rate in Switzerland. The fifth accused, Najib Ziazi, the Hinduja family’s business manager, received an 18-month suspended sentence.
The Hinduja family expressed their dismay over the Swiss court’s decision and announced their intention to appeal to a higher court. They declared that they had filed an appeal to contest the verdict that found them guilty of exploiting vulnerable domestic workers.
The case has attracted significant attention, highlighting issues of labor exploitation and the legal accountability of wealthy and influential families. As the appeal process unfolds, the outcome will be closely watched by many, including those advocating for the rights and protection of domestic workers.
