Overview

• Congress cited election affidavits showing Anamika Gautam’s declared assets rising from about Rs 50 lakh in 2009 to roughly Rs 31.32–32 crore in 2024.
• It alleged unsecured loans of about Rs 8–8.28 crore to Gautam from four individuals, saying there was no collateral or transaction record to substantiate them.
• One named individual, Abhishek Jha, has denied giving any loan, which Congress argues undermines the loan entries attributed to him.
• A complaint was filed with the Lokpal on May 24, 2025, and on July 24 a bench directed Nishikant Dubey to reply within four weeks, with no public clarity on whether he responded.
• There was no detailed response from Dubey or the BJP in the reports; The Hindu noted a brief post by Dubey on X, while Congress warned the issue could carry parliamentary consequences.
