In a big win for the Gandhis in the National Herald case, the Delhi Court on Tuesday refused to take note of the Enforcement Directorate’s prosecution complaint against Rahul and Sonia Gandhi.
In addition
to this, the Delhi court ruled that Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and several others are not entitled to be given a copy of the First Information Report (FIR) registered against them by the Delhi Police in connection with the National Herald case.
Delhi Police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW) filed an FIR on October 3, naming the Gandhis, Sam Pitroda, Suman Dubey, Young Indian and others as accused for the offences of cheating, dishonest misappropriation of property and criminal breach of trust along with criminal conspiracy.
The FIR was based on information provided by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) under Section 66 (2) of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The ED is already probing the money laundering angle in the case. Those proceedings are based on a cognisance order of the court on a criminal complaint filed by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy.
