The Allahabad High Court (Lucknow Bench) has ordered that a First Information Report (FIR) be filed against Rahul Gandhi in a case related to alleged dual citizenship. The order was given on April 17, 2026.
The court said that once the FIR is registered, the state government can also take help from central investigating agencies if needed. This would help in carrying out a proper and detailed investigation into the matter.
The case is about allegations that have raised questions regarding Rahul Gandhi’s citizenship status. However, no detailed findings have been confirmed yet, and the investigation is expected to look into the claims.
The court’s direction means that the legal process will now move forward, starting with the formal registration of the case. Further steps will depend on the outcome of the investigation conducted by the authorities.
Overall, the matter is now under legal scrutiny, and officials will examine the evidence before any conclusion is reached.
