Allahabad High Court Orders FIR Against Rahul Gandhi in Alleged British Citizenship Row

The Allahabad High Court (Lucknow Bench) directed registration of an FIR against Rahul Gandhi over allegations that he concealed British citizenship.

The Court set aside a Lucknow court order that had earlier refused to direct an FIR and held that a prima facie case exists warranting investigation.

The plea, filed by a BJP worker, claimed that Gandhi had declared himself a British national while incorporating a UK-based company in 2003 and in subsequent filings. 

The Court directed authorities to investigate the allegations under relevant laws, leaving the matter open for further inquiry and possible action based on findings.
