KATHMANDU, MAY 6
Indian National Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has returned home to India after what was made to be a scandalous trip to Nepal.
He left for Delhi on Thursday evening, and has resumed his duties upon returning, it has been learnt.
Gandhi, who landed in Nepal at the invitation of former CNN journalist Sumnima Udas for her wedding, found himself amid controversy after his video partying at a nightclub in Thamel went viral.

The aforementioned video had ablazed a war of words on social media between ruling BJP leaders - who used the opportunity to the fullest to attack Gandhi, marking it it an irresponsible act to indulge in such 'frivolity' at a time when his party is going through internal crisis - and the Congress leaders who went on a full defensive mode.
Initially, Congress had raised questions on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent trip abroad stating it was unusual to do so when the country's internal matters are yet to be addressed.
In turn, fhe BJP in defense of the Prime Minister had responded by criticising Gandhi for his trip.
More interestingly, later, the Indian media falsely implicated Gandhi of hanging out with Chinese ambassador to Nepal based on his interaction with his friend at the party. This had further fueled the duel between Gandhi's supporters and naysayers.
