NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has again summoned businessman Robert Vadra , who is also the husband of Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra , for questioning on Wednesday.
Vadra has been summoned in money-laundering probe linked to the Shikhopur land deal in Haryana, the same case in which he was questioned on Tuesday for hours.
Case gainst Vadra is that his company Skylight Hospitality had purchased around three acres in Shikohpur village of Gurgaon for Rs 7.5 crore in 2008.
After some time, Haryana's town planning department had issued a letter of intent to set up a commercial colony on 2.71 acres of this land.
In 2008, Skylight and DLF had entered into an agreement to sell the three acres to DLF for Rs 58 crore. Sale deed of the land was registered in favour of DLF.
The 56-year-old walked down from his residence at Sujan Singh Park in central Delhi to the ED headquarters on APJ Abdul Kalam Road, a two-km stretch. He entered the ED office at 11 am along with his lawyer while his security team stayed out.
Speaking to reporters on the way to the ED office, he alleged, "This is nothing but political vendetta . Whenever I speak for minorities they try to stop me, crush us... they tried to stop Rahul (Gandhi) in Parliament too. This is misuse of agencies and this is political vendetta".
"I will cooperate with them like in the past," he added.
Sources said the ED recorded his statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) for about two hours. The session is expected to continue during the day.

Whenever I speak for minorities they try to stop me, crush us... they tried to stop Rahul (Gandhi) in Parliament too. This is misuse of agencies and this is political vendetta."
