The counsel for Congress leader Sonia Gandhi on Saturday claimed before a Delhi court that a complaint alleging that she was included in the electoral roll three years before acquiring Indian citizenship in 1983 was politically motivated and filed for an extraneous reason.
The reply was submitted before Special Judge Vishal Gogne, who is hearing a revision plea
challenging a September 11, 2025, magistrate's order refusing to probe the allegation.
After the response was filed, the court posted the matter for further proceedings on February 21. The magisterial court's order had dismissed the complaint filed by advocate Vikas Tripathi, vice president of the Central Delhi Court Bar Association of the Rouse Avenue courts.
