In February last year, the Delhi High Court issued a notice to the Gandhis seeking their response on Swamy's plea.Ĭongress leaders Mallikarjun Kharge and Pawan Bansal were questioned by the ED in the case in April. Swamy had accused the Gandhis and others of conspiring to cheat and misappropriate funds, with Young Indian paying only Rs 50 lakh to obtain the right to recover Rs 90.25 crore that Associate Journals Limited owed to the Congress. Like her son, the Congress president too has 38 per cent shareholding. Sonia and Rahul Gandhi are among the promoters and majority shareholders in Young Indian.

This was after a trial court here took cognisance of an Income Tax department probe against Young Indian based on a private criminal complaint by BJP MP Subramanian Swamy in 2013. The move to question the Gandhis was initiated after the ED late last year registered a fresh case under the criminal provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Rahul Gandhi has also been questioned by the ED in this case last month in sessions that clocked over 50 hours over five days. Traffic restrictions were also imposed in the area. The Delhi Police deployed a huge force, including CRPF and RAF personnel, and barricade the entire over one kilometre stretch between her residence and the ED office. The Congress has slammed the agency's action against its top leadership and termed it as "political vendetta". Officials have said all Covid-appropriate protocols have been put in place for the high-profile session like stationing of doctors and an ambulance, 'Covid negative' certificates of investigators and proper physical distancing between Gandhi and the team of investigators. The questioning pertains to the charge of alleged financial irregularities in the Congress-promoted Young Indian Private Limited, which owns the National Herald newspaper.
