The lawyer was identified as Manoj Sharma by Indian television stations. Police took him into custody and took him away. He was protesting the Indian tycoon's well-known, and alleged, failure to return $3.2 billion in illegal bond purchases to investors.
Meanwhile, Roy has become known for opulent purchases along with owning a Formula One team and top Indian cricket squad. He also owns New York City's iconic Plaza Hotel and Grosvenor House in London. His total assets are estimated at $11 billion.
