In a major setback to Congress Chief Sonia Gandhi and party Vice-President Rahul Gandhi, the Delhi High Court on Friday allowed the Income Tax (I-T) department to continue its investigation in the National Herald case.
The investigation is based on a criminal complaint made by the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Member of Parliament Subramanian Swamy in 2012, accusing the Gandhis of a conspiracy to cheat and criminally misappropriate funds through its dealings with the National Herald newspaper.
Swamy had alleged that the Gandhis, by paying a mere Rs 50 lakh, transferred to Young Indian Private Limited (YIPL) the rights to recover Rs 90.25
