Rahul Gandhi (File photo) NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday reacted sharply to Gautam Adani’s acquittal by a US court and targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the development.In a post on X, the leader of opposition in Lok Sabha said, “There is much more to this than meets the eye. A compromised PM was forced to sell India’s interest. India is paying a huge price.”A US federal judge in New York on Monday dismissed the nearly two-year-old criminal case against Adani and the other accused. The US Department of Justice had sought dismissal of the charges, citing six “overlapping bases”, including that the case involved foreign conduct, India had not found “actionable misconduct”, no money had been lost on securities issued and there were “extraordinary proof problems”.The case, filed in November 2024, accused Adani, his nephew Sagar Adani and six others of conspiracy to bribe Indian government officials to secure a solar power contract. The Adani Group had denied the allegations and said its companies and executives had acted in accordance with applicable laws and regulatory requirements.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesJudge Nicholas Garaufis had earlier questioned the DOJ’s decision to drop the case and sought further explanation for the move.
