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 petitioner, Vignesh, claims the Ministry of Home Affairs possesses a 'Top Secret' file with shocking revelations about Gandhi's British nationality. The court's directive compels police to formally investigate the allegations, which could have significant political ramifications for the Congress party leader. The case adds to the legal challenges faced by Gandhi, who has been a central figure in India's political opposition.
