The National Herald issue is becoming a thorn in the neck for the Nehru-Gandhi family. Till now the Enforcement Directorate (ED) was interrogating and investigating this matter, but now Delhi Police has also entered it. The Economic Offenses Wing (EOW) of Delhi Police has registered a new and fresh FIR against Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, which may further complicate their legal troubles.
What is the new matter? (in easy language)
Simply put, till now ED was investigating whether ‘black money’ was converted into white or not (money laundering). But now the EOW will investigate whether any criminal conspiracy was hatched through the ‘Young Indian’ company to take over Associated Journals Limited (AJL) with assets worth Rs 2,000 crore.
ED had sent a complaint to EOW after its investigation, on the basis of which this new FIR has been registered. In this, not only Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, but the names of a total of 6 people and some companies are included.
Who is in the circle?
This new FIR includes the names of the top leadership of Congress as well as their close ones. Apart from Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, names of Indian Overseas Congress chief Sam Pitroda, Suman Dubey and Sunil Bhandari are also mentioned in the FIR. Let us tell you that the names of Suman Dubey and Sunil Bhandari have already appeared in the charge sheet of ED.
The secret of Kolkata’s ‘shell company’
A new twist in this whole story is related to a Kolkata company ‘Dotex Merchandise’. The allegation is that it is a ‘shell company’ (i.e. a company running only on paper).
According to the FIR, as part of a well-planned conspiracy, this Dotex company gave Rs 1 crore to the Young Indian. Out of this, Young Indian gave Rs 50 lakh to the Congress Party so that it could take over AJL. The investigating agency believes that the purpose of this entire game was to capture the valuable lands and properties of AJL worth crores, which is being considered as ‘fraud’. The Gandhi family reportedly holds 76% stake in Young Indian.
What will happen next now?
The EOW of Delhi Police will now investigate from this angle whether forgery and fraud has taken place. This means that in the coming days, the Gandhi family and people associated with them may once again have to face a long legal process and interrogation. This matter is not just political, but has now completely turned towards criminal investigation.
