The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned the BJP worker from Karnataka, who has filed a petition in the Allahabad High Court claiming Rahul Gandhi being a British citizen. Official sources gave this information on Saturday (September 6, 2025).
Identification of BJP worker S. Vignesh is in the form of Shishir. He has been asked to appear before the Central Investigation Agency on 9 September. ED sources said that Shishir has been asked to appear with all the evidence and documents related to the case under the provisions of the Currency Management Act (FEMA). He informed that these allegations are being investigated.
Congress did not react
Under FEMA, ED examines complaints related to violations of foreign exchange laws regarding individuals and companies. When a response was sought from the Congress party on the matter, he refused to comment.
In the PIL filed in the Allahabad High Court, Shishir claimed that he has some documents and e-mails of the British government, which proves that the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Gandhi is a UK citizen and is disqualified to contest elections in India for this reason. On August 30, the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court ordered the Central Government to provide 24 -hour security to Shishir.
This case is considering- Allahabad High Court
Justice Sangeeta Chandra and Justice B.K. R. Singh’s bench passed this order on a writ petition filed by the BJP worker. In its interim order, the bench said, “We are satisfied at first sight that the matter is considering because the petitioner has filed a case against a highly influential person and is constantly facing threats and in compliance with the notice, he has to appear before the investigating officer at Kotwali police station in Rae Bareli district.”
Government of India wrote a letter to the UK government
Shishir had told the High Court that the CBI was investigating on the basis of his complaint made in June 2024. He also claimed that he has appeared before the agency in Delhi several times and has also given evidence related to Rahul Gandhi’s alleged British citizenship. The High Court has fixed the next hearing of the case for October 9.
During the last hearing of the case, the Central Government had told the court that the Government of India has written a letter to the UK government to provide details related to British citizenship of Rahul Gandhi.
