ED quizzes Vadra for over 9 hours for second day

New Delhi: Robert Vadra, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi's brother-in-law, was questioned by Enforcement Directorate for the second day on Thursday, for over nine hours, in connection with a probe into allegations he laundered money to purchase illegal foreign assets.

Official sources said Vadra was required to rejoin the probe on Thursday as he needed to answer more questions on allegedly acquiring immovable assets in the United Kingdom.

They said the questioning of Vadra is underway and it is understood that he is being "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.

Vadra has also shared documents with the investigating officer of the case and has assured some more will be provided as and when he gets them, the sources said.

He was grilled for five-and-a half hours for the first time in the case on Wednesday.
