Summary
A previously unreported private meeting between Gautam Adani and Donald Trump Jr. took place in Ahmedabad last November during Trump Jr.'s India trip, according to people familiar with the matter.
The encounter came about a year after US prosecutors accused the 63-year-old Adani Group chairman and his nephew Sagar Adani of orchestrating a bribery scheme in India.
Adani and his nephew have consistently denied the allegations, and the US Justice Department moved last month to drop the case.
The disclosure adds a politically sensitive link between one of India's most prominent billionaires and the US president's family as the legal cloud over Adani eases.
