Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra, facing allegations of accepting a cash bribe to ask questions in Parliament, walked out of a Lok Sabha Ethics Committee meeting. Moitra, accompanied by opposition MPs, objected to "filthy questions" posed by the committee chief, BJP MP Vinod Kumar Sonkar, regarding her relationship with businessman Darshan Hiranandani. Moitra denied the bribery accusations, attributing them to a "sour personal relationship." Opposition MPs defended her, stating the shared ID was used only for legitimate parliamentary purposes. The tense cross-examination session led to Moitra and others leaving the meeting.
