The FIR was filed following directives from the Lokpal after the CBI conducted a preliminary inquiry into allegations leveled against Moitra by BJP Lok Sabha member Nishikant Dubey.

Dubey accused the TMC leader of soliciting cash and gifts from Dubai-based businessman Darshan Hiranandani in exchange for posing questions in the Lok Sabha aimed at targeting industrialist Gautam Adani and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Moitra has vehemently refuted these allegations.

The Lokpal has requested a comprehensive investigation report from the CBI within a six-month timeframe. Additionally, the CBI has been instructed to submit monthly updates on the progress of the investigation.

Dubey alleges that Hiranandani utilized this access to submit questions in Moitra’s name in Parliament.

According to Dubey’s complaint, Moitra posed approximately 50 questions in Parliament that were aligned with the business interests of Hiranandani and his company.

He also alleges that Moitra received Rs 75 lakh from the businessman before the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

Moitra has dismissed Jai Anant Dehadrai as her “jilted ex (boyfriend),” hinting at a personal vendetta between the two.

Moitra and Dehadrai are embroiled in a legal dispute over the custody of their pet Rottweiler named Henry.

Last year, Mahua Moitra was expelled from the Lok Sabha due to alleged “unethical conduct.”

However, she has challenged her expulsion in the Supreme Court.

Despite these challenges, the Trinamool Congress has nominated her to contest from the Krishnanagar constituency in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
