Sonia Gandhi named in voter list before citizenship, alleges complainant

A criminal complaint has been filed in a Delhi court against Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, alleging that her name was added to the voter list in 1980, three years before she officially became an Indian citizen in 1983.

The complainant claimed that Sonia Gandhi’s inclusion in the voter list before acquiring Indian citizenship points to the use of forged documents, which constitutes a



cognisable offence.

Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (ACJM) Vaibhav Chaurasia of the Rouse Avenue Court on Thursday heard preliminary arguments in the complaint filed by one Vikas Tripathi and fixed 10th September as the next date of hearing.

Chaurasia heard preliminary arguments in the complaint filed by Vikas Tripathi and scheduled the next hearing for September 10.
