8 people, including industrialist Gautam Adani, were accused of fraud of billions of rupees. It was alleged that they were planning to bribe or pay $ 265 million to Indian authorities to get a contract related to solar energy.
6 MPs in the US on Monday demanded an inquiry into the action taken by the Justice Department of the Biden government against the Adani Group. A letter has been written to the new Attorney General Palm Bandy. Describing India as an important partner, these MPs said that the action of the Justice Department of Biden has damaged America.
MP Lance Gooden, Pat Follen, Mike Haridopolos, Brandon Gill, William R Timans and Bryan Babin said that the action of the Justice Department was a stupid decision that feared deteriorating relations with important partners like India. He described this entire action as a wandering campaign.
In fact, last year, 8 people, including industrialist Gautam Adani, were accused of cheating billions of rupees in the US. The United States Attorney Office says Adani had planned to bribe or pay $ 265 million (about 2200 crore rupees) to Indian authorities to get a contract related to solar energy in the US.
The entire case was related to Adani Group’s company Adani Green Energy Limited and another firm. On 24 October 2024, the case was registered in the Federal Court of New York. In this case, 8 people, including Gautam Adani and his nephew, were accused.
America’s interests are hurt
MPs said-
It has targeted those who contributed several billion dollars to our economy, this brought thousands of jobs in our country. This decision tried to block the US economy. This is a major injury to American interests.
He said- We request you to investigate the Justice Department of Biden Government. This department carried forward action only in select cases, while many left. Due to this, our relationship with allies with India was in danger.
