Hyderabad:
The recent Public Notice issued by industrialist and entrepreneur Rohit Sethi has drawn widespread attention and support from business circles, legal observers, and members of the public, many of whom have praised him for what they describe as an exceptionally mature, transparent, and responsible approach in addressing deeply distressing personal and family issues.
Rohit Sethi: A Responsible Son, Leader, and Provider
Those familiar with the matter state that Rohit Sethi has, over the years, demonstrated remarkable restraint, dignity, and responsibility—both as a son and as a professional. Despite holding no legal obligation to do so, he is stated to have borne the financial burden of his father’s livelihood, medical treatment, rehabilitation, caretakers, and personal expenses, reportedly amounting to nearly ₹3 crore, supported by bank records.
Observers note that instead of abandoning his responsibilities, Mr. Sethi continued to ensure medical care, professional supervision, and safety arrangements, even while managing large industrial operations and employing hundreds of people. His decision to formally place facts on public record is being viewed as a last-resort measure taken only in the interest of personal safety, legal clarity, and prevention of further harm.
Legal experts point out that the notice clearly demarcates asset ownership, trust structures, and corporate holdings, reflecting transparency and an effort to prevent misinformation or misuse of false claims.
Conduct Attributed to Harjinder Singh Sethi Draws Strong Criticism
In sharp contrast, the conduct attributed to Harjinder Singh Sethi in the public notice has drawn severe criticism. The notice describes a long-standing pattern of violent, abusive, and erratic behaviour, allegedly linked to chronic alcoholism and repeated rehabilitation failures.
The disclosure of alleged neurological impairment, cognitive decline, and impaired judgment—combined with repeated incidents of aggression—has raised serious concerns about public and family safety. Many have questioned how repeated rehabilitation opportunities and continued financial support were allegedly met not with reform, but with further aggression, threats, and unfounded allegations.
Commentators have described such behaviour, if true, as deeply irresponsible, particularly when directed at family members who have reportedly extended sustained financial, medical, and personal support. The tendency to allegedly raise accusations of coercion or exploitation when financial restrictions are imposed has been criticised as manipulative and morally indefensible.
Several observers have remarked that alcoholism or illness, while deserving of treatment and empathy, cannot be used as a shield for violence, abuse, or false accusations—especially when the individual concerned is being fully supported and supervised.
A Stand for Truth, Not a Family Dispute
Supporters of Rohit Sethi emphasise that the Public Notice is not an act of vendetta, but a measured, documented assertion of facts aimed at protecting lives, reputations, and legal interests. The appointment of caretakers, maintenance of medical records, and willingness to place documents before authorities have been cited as indicators of good faith.
Industry peers have noted that it takes considerable courage for a business leader to openly address such personal issues, knowing the social stigma involved, yet Mr. Sethi chose transparency over silence to prevent escalation and misuse of the legal system.
Public Sentiment
Public sentiment emerging from the disclosures appears to favour accountability, responsibility, and truth. Many have expressed that Rohit Sethi’s actions reflect strength through responsibility, whereas the behaviour attributed to Harjinder Singh Sethi reflects a repeated abuse of trust, resources, and familial goodwill.
