short by Ashley Paul / on Saturday, 18 April, 2026
BJP MP and billionaire industrialist Naveen Jindal came out in support of billionaire Anil Agarwal, who was booked after 20 people died in a blast at Vedanta's power plant in Chhattisgarh. Jindal said naming Agarwal in the FIR before any probe "raises serious concerns", adding, "He had no role in that plant's operations." "Investigate first. Establish responsibility...Then act," Jindal said.
