Synopsis
According to French media reports, a judge has been appointed to lead a "highly sensitive" judicial investigation into allegations of corruption. This has reignited interest in the case that had been buried for years after a clean chit from the Supreme Court as well as all-clear reports by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG).

With a judicial investigation into alleged corruption and favouritism reportedly initiated in France, the Opposition reiterated its demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into the Rafale fighter jet deal that was signed in 2016, while the BJP reacted strongly, accusing the Congress of lying.
