“Mossad’s Claim on Rahul Gandhi and Adani: A New Twist in the Saga”
Israel’s Mossad found that Rahul Gandhi ‘coordinated’ with Hindenburg to target Adani
Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad carried out a covert operation targeting the home servers of Sam Pitroda, head of the Indian Overseas Congress (IOC) and a close aide of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, claimed a report by Sputnik India.
According to the Sputnik India report, Mossad sought evidence of coordination between the Indian opposition and Hindenburg Research—the US firm whose January 2023 report alleged stock manipulation and accounting fraud at the Adani Group. Hindenburg Research has since shut down its operations.
Money control could not independently verify these claims.
Sources cited by Sputnik India claim that the operation “exposed encrypted chatrooms and undisclosed backchannels of communication,” revealing links “between Rahul Gandhi and the Hindenburg Research team,” with the purported aim of undermining both Gautam Adani and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In January 2023, Hindenburg Research accused the Adani Group of artificially inflating its stock prices through complex accounting practices and a network of offshore shell companies.
The Adani Group has denied all these allegations.
Rahul Gandhi ‘coordinated’ with Hindenburg to target Adani, reveals Mossad
In an unprecedented and secretive move, Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad, allegedly hacked into the home servers of Indian Overseas Congress chairman Sam Pitroda, who is a close aide of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi. The operation was aimed at uncovering any links between the Indian opposition and US-based short-seller Hindenburg Research, according to a report by Sputnik India.
The Hindenburg Research
Mossad jumped into action with “Operation Zeppelin” soon after Hindenburg Research on January 24, 2023 released a damning report accusing the Adani Group of orchestrating one of the largest corporate frauds, reported the sources close to the media outlet.
The report led to Adani’s market value drop drastically and trigger a major stock market crash in India.
The Hindenburg Research had come at a time Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) had finalized a US$ 1.2 billion agreement to acquire majority stakes in the strategically vital Haifa Port in Israel. The deal involving 18 contenders, was seen as extremely vital for the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEEC).
Hindenburg Research has since shut down its operations.
