Fresh Legal Drama: ED Targets Gandhis Over National Herald Case

The Enforcement Directorate plans to file a new charge sheet against Congress leaders Sonia and Rahul Gandhi in relation to the National Herald money laundering case. The court earlier refused cognisance of the previous charge sheet due to procedural issues. The Congress party claims the government's actions are politically motivated.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is preparing a fresh charge sheet against Congress leaders Sonia and Rahul Gandhi amid the enduring National Herald money laundering controversy, according to officials.

This decision arises as a trial court has declined to acknowledge a prior charge sheet, citing its reliance on a private complaint rather than a formal FIR as required under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

The Congress has responded to the latest developments by alleging political motivation behind the prosecution, reinforcing their stance on the Narendra Modi government's alleged misuse of power.
