Launching a fresh attack on billionaire businessman Gautam Adani, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Thursday demanded his immediate arrest after the US Department of Justice (DoJ) and US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) indicted him and others for alleged bribery.
Gandhi, who has been demanding a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into alleged irregularities by the Adani Group, also demanded removal of Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Chairman Madhabi Puri Buch accusing her of protecting Adani.
Notably, the Adani Group on Thursday denied allegations made by the US DoJ and the US SEC, and said all possible legal recourse will be sought.
Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters, the Leader of Opposition in the Lower House said, "It's now pretty clear and established in America that Adani has broken both American law and Indian law. He has been indicted in the US. I am wondering why Adani is still running around a free man in this country, despite being accused of a Rs 2,000 scam and multiple others."
