Senior Congress leader Pawan Kumar Bansal is the Managing Director of Associated Journals Limited and interim treasurer of the Congress Party. Now other promoters of Young Indian are expected to summon the ED soon in this case.

Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi held 76 per cent of the shares in the new company, while the remaining 24 per cent were with other directors. After this, the Congress party gave a loan of Rs 90 crore to this company and later this company acquired 'AJL'. Later in this case, Subramanian Swamy filed a petition alleging 'cheating' on the Congress leaders. He said in his petition that 'Young Indian Private Limited' figured out a way to recover Rs 90.25 crore in just Rs 50 lakh, which is "against the rules".
