Robert Vadra, husband of Priyanka Gandhi appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) here for questioning in a money laundering case for the second consecutive day on Thursday.


Unlike the first day, the businessman was not accompanied by his wife Priyanka Gandhi today. Yesterday, Priyanka Gandhi had come to see him off. He was questioned for six hours on Wednesday. In a five-hour session yesterday, the Enforcement Directorate, the agency investigating the case, questioned Mr. Vadra on allegations that he illegally owns nine properties, cumulatively worth 12 million pounds.


He is being questioned on transactions, purchase, and possession of certain immovable assets in London.
Today, the agency is questioning him on his links with the main players in the case - controversial arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari. Mr. Vadra has denied the allegations, calling it a political witch-hunt.

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee spoke up in support of Congress, saying, "There is no serious case, nothing, just sending the notice casually to everybody. We stand together, we are united".
