NEW DELHI: Robert Vadra, Congress president Rahul Gandhi's brother-in-law, on Sunday thanked all his friends and acquaintances who reached out to him in support from all over the nation, at this time.
Vadra was questioned for about eight hours on Saturday by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a probe into allegations of money laundering to purchase assets abroad as he appeared before the agency for the third consecutive day.
In a Facebook post, Vadra said that he is fine, good and disciplined to "deal with anything" that he is put through. "Truth will always prevail," he wrote.
After two sessions of questioning on February 6 and 7, officials said the investigating officer (IO) of the case wanted to put across more questions to Vadra in connection with the case and hence he was asked to depose again on Saturday.
Sources said Vadra was questioned on various aspects of his personal and business finances during the latest session.
It is understood that the last time Vadra was "confronted with" documents that the agency has obtained or seized as part of its probe in the case, including those linked to absconding defence dealer Sanjay Bhandari.
The ED case against Vadra relates to allegations of money laundering in the purchase of a London-based property located at 12, Bryanston Square worth 1.9 million GBP (British pounds), which is allegedly owned by him.
Vadra has denied the allegations of possessing illegal foreign assets and termed them a political witch hunt against him. He said he was being "hounded and harassed" to subserve political ends.
Vadra is also expected to depose before the ED on February 12 in Jaipur in an another money-laundering case related to an alleged land scam in Bikaner. The Rajasthan high court has directed him to cooperate with the agency in the case.
