Big trouble for Gandhis! Fresh FIR slaps criminal conspiracy charges on Rahul and Sonia in National Herald case
New Delhi/IBNS: Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi have been named in a fresh First Information Report (FIR) filed by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Delhi Police in connection with the National Herald case, according to media reports.
The FIR, registered on October 3, invokes charges of criminal conspiracy and names six individuals, including the Gandhis and Indian Overseas Congress chairman Sam Pitroda.
Three companies — Associated Journals Limited (AJL), Young Indian, and Kolkata-based Dotex Merchandise Pvt. Ltd. — have also been mentioned in the complaint.
According to reports, Dotex Merchandise allegedly transferred ₹1 crore to Young Indian, a not-for-profit company in which Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi together hold a 76% stake.
Investigators allege that Young Indian paid ₹50 lakh to the Congress party to acquire control of AJL, the company associated with the National Herald newspaper and said to possess assets valued at around ₹2,000 crore.
The FIR was filed based on a complaint from the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which had earlier shared findings from its investigation with the Delhi Police.
