The Indian National Congress has demanded that criminal proceedings be initiated against former official Pradhan after he stepped down.
The Indian National Congress has formally requested that criminal action be taken against Pradhan following his resignation earlier this month.
Pradhan’s resignation was accepted by the government, and the opposition party has expressed concerns that the circumstances surrounding his departure warrant a legal investigation.
In a statement released by the Congress leadership, party officials called for a thorough inquiry into the matter and urged the relevant authorities to file charges if evidence supports such action.
No official response has been issued by the government or the police as of the time of reporting.
The demand comes as Congress seeks to hold leaders accountable for alleged misconduct, a stance that has been reiterated in several recent parliamentary debates.
