Wed Nov 27 14:21:48 UTC 2024: ## Gandhi Demands Adani’s Arrest Following US Bribery Allegations
**New Delhi, India** – Congress leader Rahul Gandhi renewed his calls for the arrest of billionaire Gautam Adani on Wednesday, following the Adani Group’s denial of US bribery allegations. The Adani Group has stated that neither Gautam Adani nor his nephew, Sagar Adani, have been charged with violating the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), despite being named in a US court indictment related to a bribery case.
Gandhi dismissed the Adani Group’s denial, stating it was expected and arguing that the sheer scale of the alleged offenses warrants arrest. He questioned the selective application of justice, highlighting the arrests of numerous individuals on minor charges while Adani, who faces accusations involving “thousands of crores,” remains free. Gandhi directly accused the government of protecting Adani.
The Congress leader’s comments follow the Adani Group’s legal team’s assertion that the accusations are vague and lack specifics regarding the alleged bribery. Gandhi has repeatedly raised concerns about the Adani Group in the past, both in Parliament and during election campaigns. The ongoing Winter Session of Parliament provides a backdrop for the continued political sparring over this issue.
