Congress leader Rahul Gandhi appeared before the Enforcement Directorate for the fourth day in connection with an alleged money laundering case related to the National Herald Newspaper.

The latest appearance was initially scheduled for June 17, but the senior Congress leader wrote to the ED to postpone his questioning citing illness of his mother Sonia Gandhi.

Accepting his request, the probe agency had asked him to appear on Monday. For three consecutive days last week, Rahul Gandhi had been grilled for about 30 hours amid widespread Congress protests in the national capital against their leader being questioned.
