An Indian-American doctor has filed a lawsuit here against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, and business tycoon Gautam Adani on a host of issues, including corruption and Pegasus spyware.
The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has issued summons to all these leaders, along with several others, which were served on them in India earlier this year. Eminent Indian-American attorney from New York Ravi Batra has termed it a "dead on arrival lawsuit".
The lawsuit against Mr. Modi, Mr. Reddy and Mr. Adani has been filed by Richmond-based gastroenterologist Dr. Lokesh Vuyurru.
Among others named in the lawsuit is Professor Klaus Schwab, founder and chairman of the World Economic forum.
Without any documentary evidence, the Indian-American physician, who comes from Andhra Pradesh, alleged that Mr. Modi, Mr. Reddy and Mr. Adani, along with others, are engaged in corruption, including massive cash transfers to the U.S. and use of Pegasus spyware against political opponents.
The lawsuit was filed on May 24, following which the court issued the summons on July 22. The summons were served on them in India on August 4 and to Mr. Schwab in Switzerland on August 2.
Dr. Vuyyuru submitted the evidence of submission of the summons before the court on August 19.
