I support my family,” Ms. Vadra told reporters when asked about the ED’s summons to Mr. Vadra in connection with probes into alleged money laundering and purchase of benami properties abroad. In a clear political signal that she was not going to be browbeaten by the charges against her husband, Ms. Vadra said everyone knew why this was being done.

The briefing ended midway when Ms. Vadra arrived at the office unannounced.
