Mukul Rohatgi On U.S. Charges Against Adani: No Detail In Chargesheet Over Who Has Been Bribed

Senior lawyer and former Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi on Wednesday dismantled allegations against Adani Group founder Gautam Adani and his nephew Sagar Adani in the US Department of Justice (DOJ) indictment. Rohatgi pointed out that the DOJ indictment lacks specific details or evidence tying the Adani Group to bribery. “There is no mention of who was bribed, how they were bribed, or any direct involvement by Adani officials,” he said. "In Count 5, which deals with obstruction of justice, neither the Adanis nor their officers are named—only some foreign individuals are mentioned. In this case, there is no such evidence against the Adanis. I can’t see a single name, in which manner they were bribed, which department they belong to." "I am confident they will seek legal advice from American lawyers to address these claims."He also noted that the allegations rely on an intent to bribe rather than any documented actions, calling the accusations speculative.
