The order from Lokpal emphasized the serious nature of the allegations against Moitra, supported by substantial evidence.
Expulsion from Lok Sabha
Moitra’s troubles escalated further when she was expelled from the Lok Sabha in December last year. This action followed accusations of bribery involving businessman Darshan Hiranandani. Allegedly, Moitra accepted bribes in exchange for posing critical questions regarding the Narendra Modi government in Parliament. Additionally, she faced allegations of sharing confidential login credentials for the parliamentary website with Hiranandani to facilitate the posting of questions directly.
