Robert Vadra, the businessman brother-in-law of Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, appeared before the Enforcement Directorate on the second straight day on Tuesday for his questioning in a 2008 Haryana land deal linked money laundering case.
He was accompanied by his wife Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, the Congress MP from Kerala’s Wayanad. The two exchanged hugs before Robert Vadra went inside the ED office.
He was questioned for about five hours on Tuesday and his statement was recorded by the federal probe agency under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), official sources said.
The session will resume on Wednesday, the sources said.
The 56-year-old Vadra had termed the ED action “political vendetta”.
