In a huge relief to Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul Gandhi, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is likely to close the National Herald case. The ED has decided to close the case due to lack of substantial <g data-gr-id="13">evidences</g> against both Congress leaders, sources said on Monday.
Both leaders were summoned by a trial court on June 26, 2014, following Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Subramanian Swamy’s complaint accusing both of cheating and misappropriation of funds in acquiring the ownership of the now-defunct English daily National Herald.
Congress treasurer Moti Lal Vora, party leaders Oscar Fernandes, Suman Dubey and telecom engineer Sam Pitroda were also summoned by the court on August 7, 2014.
