Rahul Gandhi Arrested In US Vajpayee Released Him
A suit has been filed in the high court in Lucknow seeking information about the alleged detention of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and his Columbian girlfriend by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 2001.
According to the public interest litigation, Rahul, the son of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, and his companion were released after being detained at Boston airport following the intervention of the Prime Minister's Office.
At that time, Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the Indian prime minister and Rahul was not a member of the Parliament.
"Vajpayee's principal secretary and then national security adviser Brajesh Misra spoke to top US authorities to enable Rahul Gandhi and his girlfriend to get away," claimed Prem Chandra Sharma, who moved the court along with three others.
The petition alleged that Rahul was found in illegal possession of about $ 200,000.
