High Court orders FIR against Rahul Gandhi in dual citizenship case

The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court has ordered the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in a dual citizenship case. The directive was issued following a petition filed by a Bharatiya Janata Party leader, who challenged the politician's citizenship status after his election to the Lok Sabha. According to the court order, the Kotwali police station in Rae Bareli, Uttar Pradesh, has been directed to officially file the FIR. Taking to social media, the petitioner thanked the court and described the decision as a historic and landmark judgment, expressing immense relief after months of ongoing legal proceedings. The case has involved multiple hearings over several months, with the Congress parliamentarian reportedly visiting the Lucknow bench and Sultanpur district during the course of the matter.
