India’s Opposition Calls for Adani’s Arrest After US Indictment

India’s main opposition party sought an investigation into business dealings of billionaire Gautam Adani after US prosecutors indicted the tycoon for promising bribes to the South Asian nation’s government officials.

Rahul Gandhi, a leader of the Indian National Congress party, questioned the country’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s links with Adani, and suggested that those close ties helped shield the tycoon from being questioned about alleged corruption. He said that the alliance of opposition parties in the country will take up the matter together in parliament when the session starts next week and called for joint parliamentary committee to scrutinize the group while seeking the arrest of the businessman.
