On November 9, the Ethics Committee headed by BJP MP Sonkar had accepted the report recommending the expulsion of Moitra from the Lok Sabha on charges of 'taking money and asking questions in the House'. Six members had voted in favor of the report, including suspended Congress MP Preneet Kaur. However, four opposition members had termed the report as a 'fixed match'. Opposition members claimed that there was not even 'a shred of evidence' to support the complaint of BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, on the basis of which the committee took the decision.

The most important role in this matter is of Nishikant Dubey. He had alleged that Moitra took money and asked questions in Parliament. As a matter of fact, he wrote a letter to the Lok Sabha Speaker and told him the whole story. The Speaker had sent this complaint to the Ethics Committee. Mahua was accused of attacking Adani Group and PM Modi in Parliament at the behest of businessman Darshan Hiranandani and asking questions related to this. Mahua had received gifts in return. It was also alleged that Mahua had shared the login of her Parliament ID with the businessman.

Darshan Hiranandani is the CEO of real estate and infrastructure company Hiranandani Group. When Nishikant Dubey made the allegation, 42 year old Darshan shrugged it off saying that he has nothing to do with politics, he pays full attention to business. Later news came that in October, businessman Hiranandani confessed to using Mahua's login details in his affidavit. Due to this Mahua's problems increased further. Mahua later alleged that the government put a gun on Darshan and made him sign the affidavit.
