“India Has Not Received Any Communication From The US”: MEA On Adani Row

Adani

The Ministry of External Affairs, in its weekly briefing today, said that India has yet to receive any communication from the US on the legal matter involving the Adani Group and the US Department of Justice.

Randhir Jaiswal, speaking to the media, said: “We see this as a legal matter involving private firms and individuals and the US Department of Justice. Obviously, there are established procedures and legal avenues in such cases that we believe would be followed. The government of India was not informed in advance on the issue.”

“We haven’t also had any conversation on this particular matter with the US government,” he added. Jaiswal further said any request by a foreign government for service of summons or arrest warrant is part of mutual legal assistance, but such requests are examined on merits. We have not received any request on this case from the US side,” the MEA spokesperson said.

The US Department of Justice and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had issued an indictment and a civil complaint, respectively, in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

However, Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani, his nephew Sagar Adani, and senior executive Vneet Jaain have refuted the claims.
