The Allahabad High Court has ordered the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) against prominent Indian opposition leader Rahul Gandhi in a case concerning alleged dual citizenship. The court has also directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to investigate the matter of his British citizenship. This legal development represents a significant escalation in the political and legal challenges facing the Congress party figure. The case centers on claims that Gandhi holds British citizenship, which could potentially disqualify him from holding public office in India.
