Congress interim President Sonia Gandhi has arrived at the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office in connection with national herald money laundering case on Thursday. Gandhi, 75, arrived at the federal probe agency's headquarters located at Vidyut Lane flanking A P J Abdul Kalam Road in central Delhi a little after noon escorted by her Z category CRPF security cover.
Gandhi, who was diagnosed with Covid recently, was seen wearing a mask and was accompanied by her children Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi.
The Delhi Police deployed a huge force and barricaded the entire over 1 km stretch between Gandhi's residence on Akbar Road-Janpath and the ED office.
Congress Party has slammed the agency's action against its top leadership and called it a "political vendetta". The Congress chief is deposing on the third summons as she sought exemption on earlier dates of June 8 and June 23 due to Covid-19 infection. The probe relates to alleged financial irregularities in the Congress-promoted Young Indian Private Limited, which owns the National Herald newspaper.
