Gandhi had earlier been scheduled to appear before the ED on June 8 but had sought more time from the probe agency in view of her Covid infection. The agency then issued a fresh summons and asked her to her before it on June 23.

She has been summoned by the ED in the National Herald money laundering case in which her son and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi were questioned for more than 50 hours in five days.
