Congress President Rahul Gandhi tendered an unconditional apology in the Supreme Court on Wednesday, for wrongfully attributing the 'chowkidar chor hai' remark to the apex court in relation to the Rafale case.

On April 22 he had filed an affidavit with the Supreme Court expressing regret over his remarks which the apex court had said was "incorrectly attributed" to the institution.
