Rahul Gandhi Challenges Allahabad High Court Order on Assets Probe in Supreme Court
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has approached the Supreme Court challenging an Allahabad High Court order directing the CBI and Enforcement Directorate to investigate allegations of disproportionate assets against him. The High Court expressed dissatisfaction with the CBI's progress and required a detailed affidavit, while allowing the ED to proceed if illegality is found. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear Gandhi's plea on August 17. The case stems from a petition filed by BJP worker Vignesh Shishir, who also alleged dual citizenship against Gandhi.
