Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has publicly supported former Army Chief Gen M.M. Naravane amid controversy over the alleged leak of his unpublished memoir Four Stars of Destiny, saying he trusts Naravane over publisher Penguin Random House India. Gandhi challenged the publisher’s claim that the book hasn’t been released and questioned inconsistencies in statements, triggering political debate. The Delhi Police registered an FIR after purported copies circulated online. Penguin insists no authorized version exists and warns of legal action. The dispute has sparked heated political exchanges, with Gandhi alleging the book contains material inconvenient to the government, deepening the row. (PC: PTI)
