Delhi Police has filed a fresh First Information Report (FIR) naming Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and seven others in connection with the National Herald case. The senior Congress leaders have now been charged with criminal conspiracy in the case.

The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Delhi Police lodged the FIR on October 3. The report charges the accused under various sections of the Indian Penal Code: 120B (criminal conspiracy), 403 (dishonest misappropriation of property), 406 (criminal breach of trust), and 420 (cheating), news agency PTI reported, citing official sources.
