Mahatma Gandhi's Great-Granddaughter Jailed In S Africa For Forgery

A Durban court in South Africa on June 7 awarded a seven-year imprisonment to Mahatma Gandhi's great-granddaughter in a forgery case. Ashish Lata Ramgovin had allegedly defrauded businessman SR Maharaj of 6.2 million rand on the promise of clearing import and Customs duties for an Indian shipment. Ramgovin was first sent into trial in 2015, but she was soon granted a bail for 50,000 rand.
