Herald case against Sonia Gandhi 'truly strange': Abhishek Singhvi in court
Abhishek Manu Singhvi NEW DELHI: Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, representing former Congress president Sonia Gandhi , told a Delhi court Friday that ED's National Herald money-laundering case was "truly a strange case." Singhvi argued before judge Vishal Gogne that it was "an alleged case of money laundering without any property and without use or projection of property." The court is hearing arguments on whether to take cognisance of ED's chargesheet against Sonia and Rahul. Calling the case "unprecedented," Singhvi said: "Not an inch of property moved from Associated Journals Ltd (AJL) to Young Indian Pvt Ltd (YI). No Congress leader gained property or money. Yet this is called money-laundering." ED alleges Sonia and Rahul, with late Congress netas Motilal Vora and Oscar Fernandes, Sam Pitroda, and YI, fraudulently took over AJL's assets worth Rs 2,000 crore. Singhvi questioned the 11-year gap between AJL's restructuring in 2010 and ED's action in 2021. He said, "To have National Herald in a body not linked to Congress is like Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark." - Vineet Upadhyay

Orissa: Enforcement Directorate's Deputy Director Chintan Raghuvanshi, who was arrested by the CBI while allegedly accepting a bribe from a businessman in Bhubaneswar, was released on interim bail from the Jharpada jail on Friday evening. The Orissa High Court granted him interim bail on Wednesday for 10 days on the ground that the young officer became a father on June 28 and he wanted to see his newborn baby and attend some rituals. "The IRS officer was released from jail this evening after the relevant documents from the high court and the lower court were produced to the jail authorities," his lawyer, Lalitendu Mishra, said. A single-judge bench of Justice Gourishankar Satapathy granted the interim bail on the condition that he should not leave the country during the 10-day period. Raghuvanshi and his associate were arrested in Bhubaneswar on May 30 after being allegedly caught red-handed while accepting the bribe amount of Rs 20 lakh from a man who is in mining.
