Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will be questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for the fifth time on Tuesday in the National Herald-money laundering probe. Rahul was questioned by the ED for around 12 hours on the fourth day of his appearance before it in the case on Monday. The Congress MP from Wayanad in Kerala has spent more than 40 hours with the federal investigating agency over four sittings since his first appearance on June 13.

The ED probe pertains to alleged financial irregularities in the Congress-promoted Young Indian Private Limited, which owns the National Herald newspaper. The newspaper is published by Associated Journals Limited (AJL) and owned by Young Indian Private Limited.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi has also been summoned by the agency for questioning in the case on June 23. She was discharged on Monday from a private hospital in Delhi where she was admitted for coronavirus-related complications.
