Lokpal Orders CBI to Chargesheet Mahua Moitra in 'Cash for Query' Case

Lokpal Orders CBI to Chargesheet Mahua Moitra in 'Cash for Query' Case

Imagine a Member of Parliament (MP) named Mahua was given a special computer login to ask questions in Parliament.

Investigators say she gave this special login, including a secret code, to a businessman named Darshan.

The businessman then allegedly used her login to ask questions in Parliament that helped his business.

Investigators also claim Mahua received gifts and help with her home renovation from this businessman.

The Lokpal, a watchdog for corruption, has now told the police to officially accuse Mahua and the businessman of breaking the law.

They believe this was a serious issue, like a security problem, because it involved Parliament's computer system and could have affected national security.

This is the beginning of a legal process against Mahua, who has said she is being targeted unfairly.
