Sources privy to the development said Rahul Gandhi may plan to meet the kids at their native place in the Sehore district of central MP, once the post-death rituals are over. The couple Manoj Parmar and Neha Parmar were found hanging to death inside their house in Ashta town of Sehore district on Friday morning, eight days after the ED raided Manoj’s office premises in two districts in connection with a Rs 6 crore loan fraud case, in which he was the prime accused.The police got from the spot a five-page letter-cum-suicide addressed to 17 entities spanning from the President, Prime Minister, MP CM and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, in which excessive harassment and torture by the ED during the December 5 search was alleged. The letter also mentioned pressure being mounted to make his kids join the BJP.The three kids had met Rahul Gandhi during the latter’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in MP in 2022 and reportedly gifted him their gullak (piggy bank). Since then Parmar and the kids were being seen as Congress supporters. Meanwhile, the Enforcement Directorate came out with a two-page official statement on the entire issue on Saturday. While terming the couple’s suicide as “unfortunate”, the ED stated that search proceedings were concluded at Parmar’s premises on December 5 in a peaceful and conducive manner. “After the conclusion of the search, Manoj Parmar and his wife were summoned by the ED on December 9 and 10 to record their statement concerning various incriminating documents found during the search proceeding.
