PTIRobert Vadra, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi's brother-in-law, appeared before the Enforcement Directorate for the second day on Thursday in connection with a probe into allegations that he laundered money to purchase illegal foreign assets. His statement will be recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) as was done on Wednesday, they added. This is the first time that Vadra is appearing before any probe agency in connection with alleged dubious financial dealings. These include two houses, one worth 5 million GBP and the other 4 million GBP, six other flats and more properties. Vadra is also supposed to be present before the ED on February 12 in Jaipur in another money laundering case related to a land scam in Bikaner.
