The Congress leader was asked over 70 questions over two days. Earlier, Rahul Gandhi was questioned in the similar case for five days. He was asked over 150 questions.
According to sources, Sonia Gandhi was asked about her involvement with the National Herald newspaper and Young Indian Pvt Ltd.
The ED case is based on an order by a trial court that allowed the Income Tax Department to probe the affairs of the National Herald newspaper and conduct a tax assessment of Sonia and Rahul Gandhi. The order was a result of a petition filed by BJP MP Subramanian Swamy in 2013.
Subramanian Swamy had alleged cheating and misappropriation of funds on the part of the Gandhis in acquiring National Herald. He had also alleged that the Gandhis had acquired properties owned by the newspaper by buying the its erstwhile publishers, AJL, through an organisation called Young Indian in which the Gandhis have 86 per cent stake. Sonia and Rahul Gandhi were granted bail in the case by the trial court in December 2015.
The Delhi Police on Wednesday too detained Congress workers and leaders who have been protesting at the national capital since Monday against the ED summons to Rahul and Sonia Gandhi.
Keeping in mind Congress’s protest march in the national capital on Monday, the police and paramilitary forces have been deployment in large numbers near the Congress headquarters in Delhi. Barricades have been put up to prevent movement of Congress workers.
