In another setback and embarrassment for the Indian National Congress, the Uttar Pradesh (UP) Police have uncovered mammoth irregularities in leasing out of government land to Kamala Nehru Educational Society in Rae Bareli in 2001, reports Times of India.
The UP Police has so far booked 12 people for fraud, including former staffers of the Society, revenue officials, and the then additional district magistrate (ADM) on the charges of tampering with government documents and causing damage to public property.
Rebel Congress MLA from Rae Bareli Aditi Singh said, “I would like to thank UP CM for pushing for a probe and registering a case against the culprits. The Gandhi family has huge stakes in the Trust with Vikram Kaul and Salman Khursheed being members. The land was allocated for the education of girls, but was never used for this purpose.”
