BJP MP Nishikant Dubey on Saturday filed a complaint with the anti-corruption ombudsman Lokpal against TMC MP Mahua Moitra, accusing her of taking bribes to raise questions in Parliament.
Firing fresh claims against the TMC leader, Dubey said she was in India when her parliamentary ID was used in Dubai and claimed that the National Informatics Centre (NIC) had disclosed the information to probe agencies. Moitra claimed on X that she had received a message about an impending CBI raid. "I am busy with Durga Puja. I invite CBI to come home & count my pairs of shoes. But first please file FiR into ₹13,000 crore coal money Adani stole from Indians," Moitra said.

Soon after her post, Dubey posted a message in Hindi, saying he was "tired of hearing of CBI, CBI" and has lodged a complaint with Lokpal, which is entrusted with probing the case of corruption against public authorities, including MPs. "Lokpal oversees the complaints against parliamentarians and ministers. The CBI is its medium," he said.
Dubey has accused Moitra of accepting bribes and favours for asking questions in Lok Sabha at the behest of businessman Darshan Hiranandani to target the Adani Group and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Hitting back, Moitra posted on X that unknown Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPI) owning shares of the Adani group was a bigger national security concern and "not an email ID that every PA & every unchecked intern team of every MP has publicly & accesses at will".
