The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday issued fresh summons to Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi to appear before it on June 23 in the National Herald case.

The agency issued the fresh summons as Gandhi did not appear before the investigators on June 8 due to Covid-19.

The Congress leader had developed a mild fever on June 1 evening and was found Covid positive, the next morning.

Earlier on June 1, the ED summoned Gandhi to appear before its investigators on June 8 in the case, while her son and former party chief, Rahul Gandhi, is to appear before the agency on June 13 in connection with a money laundering case involving the National Herald.

The ED wants to record both Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi's statements under criminal sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
