Overview
- A Southwark Crown Court jury on February 6 found Vikas Nath guilty of attempting to administer a substance with intent and of possessing a Class B drug.
- Annabel's staff spotted him tampering with a spicy margarita, swapped it before the woman could drink it, and preserved the glass for police testing.
- CCTV captured him using a straw and a small bottle disguised as vanilla extract, which police later recovered from a toilet cistern and forensics linked to GBL.
- A search of his Knightsbridge home uncovered two larger bottles of GBL and a motion-activated hidden camera positioned toward his bed.
- Prosecutors said he aimed to incapacitate the woman for sex; he admitted spiking the drink but claimed he intended only to relax her, a defense the jury rejected.
