E-mail to Epstein only to explore India’s potential for business: Hardeep Singh Puri

New Delhi, 12/2: Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Wednesday, responding to Rahul Gandhi’s charges linking the former to Epstein files, denied any wrongdoings and said that he had met the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein only “three or maximum four times”

In his clarification, Puri said that his e-mail to Epstein was related to Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn, in a bid to “explore India’s potential for internet-based businesses.” He also said that he had exchanged only one e-mail with Epstein.
