Altogether, Vadra was questioned for a total of 24 hours this week by an ED team led by a Joint Director and comprising a Deputy Director and five other officers
Vadra's lawyer KTS Tulsi had earlier alleged that the ED was leaking information about his questioning. He claimed that the probe agency has nothing concrete against his client.
The Patiala House court has granted interim bail to Vadra on February 2 till February 16 in connection with the case.
