Allahabad High Court Dismisses Petition Alleging Rahul Gandhi's British Citizenship
The Allahabad High Court dismissed a petition alleging Rahul Gandhi holds British citizenship, citing lack of supporting documents. Petitioners relied mainly on a Cambridge University letter and claimed Gandhi formed a UK company, but failed to provide official UK records. The court noted similar petitions were pending with the central government and allowed withdrawal of the plea. The allegations remain unconfirmed, with the court emphasizing the absence of evidence to substantiate claims against Gandhi.
