Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has been asked to appear before Enforcement Directorate for the fifth time on Tuesday, 21 June, after completing over 40 hours of questioning in the National Herald case on Monday, PTI quoted an official as saying.
The fourth round of questioning came after his request to postpone the summons was granted considering the illness of his mother and interim Congress president Sonia Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi had requested the agency to give him relaxation from appearing for questioning from 17 to 20 June.
Sonia Gandhi had tested positive for COVID-19 on 2 June and was expected to turn up for questioning at the agency offices on Wednesday, 8 June. However, she asked for three more weeks since she was still COVID-19 positive and in isolation.
