Rahul Gandhi calls for Gautam Adani’s immediate arrest after billionaire indicted by US | Latest News India

Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said that Gautam Adani should be arrested immediately and his “protector” Madhabi Puri Buch should be probed.

“It is now pretty clear and established in America that Mr Adani has broken both American law and Indian law. He has been indicted in the United States and I am wondering why Mr Adani is still running around a free man in this country?” questioned Raul Gandhi.

During a press conference, Rahul Gandhi claimed that recent developments validate his long-standing allegations against billionaire Gautam Adani.

“We have been raising this again and again and again. We have raising it with the Madhabi Buch issue and it is a vindication of what we have been saying. The prime minister is protecting Mr Adani and the prime minister is involved in corruption with Mr Adani. This is being clearly indicated,” said Rahul Gandhi 

Gandhi’s statement came after US prosecutors charged Gautam Adani, chairman of the Adani Group, with alleged involvement in a plan to pay more than $250 million in bribes to government officials in India for solar energy contracts.
