The top leaders of India’s opposition Congress party, Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, have appeared in court in connection with corruption allegations.
They were both granted bail minutes after arriving, and the case was adjourned until 20 February, the AFP news agency reported.
The mother and son deny misusing party funds to buy a firm that published the now-closed National Herald newspaper.
The case has been brought by a member of the ruling BJP.
Subramanian Swamy says the Gandhis took over the company to try to acquire more than $300m in property assets.
