NEW DELHI: A PIL in the Supreme Court on Monday cited a 20-year-old report in a little known magazine to allege that 2.5 million Francs were lying in a Swiss bank account, allegedly in the name of former PM Rajiv Gandhi, and sought a direction to the Centre to take steps to bring it back to India.
Advocate M L Sharma annexed to his petition a scanned copy of the report published in a 1991 report in a Swiss magazine 'SI 46/1991 - Fluchtgelder - Seiten 40/41', which detailed the amount allegedly lying in the name of world leaders, including Rajiv.
Sharma in his petition said he got a scanned copy of the 1991 report in the magazine and said the long lapse of time had shown that no efforts were made by the government to get the money back to India.
