State vs Manpreet Singh Chadha

The Delhi High Court has issued a notice to the CBI regarding a plea filed by Lalu Prasad Yadav challenging an order framing charges against him. The proceedings relate to the IRCTC scam case, with charges having been framed in October.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a prosecution complaint (chargesheet) under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) before Rouse Avenue Courts, Delhi, naming Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Sam Pitroda, Suman Dubey, and others, alleging laundering of proceeds of crime derived from the alleged fraudulent takeover of Associated Journals Limited (AJL) properties worth over ₹2,000 crore by Young Indian Pvt. Ltd. Special Judge Vishal Gogne of Rouse Avenue Courts declined to take cognizance of the complaint in December 2025, holding it was not maintainable, while permitting the ED to continue its probe. The ED has challenged this order before the Delhi High Court, which issued notice to the accused on 22 December 2025. All persons named remain accused and are presumed innocent unless a court judgment holds otherwise.

The Enforcement Directorate has filed chargesheets against Reliance Communications (RCom) and Reliance Infrastructure Ltd in a Rs 40,000-crore bank fraud case. Named accused include Gautam Doshi, Sateesh Seth, and Amitabh Jhunjhunwala.
