In National Herald case, ED raids follow Sonia Gandhi questioning last week

In the National Herald Case, at least 14 locations - across the country - were searched on Tuesday days after Congress chief Sonia Gandhi was questioned, officials said. This includes the Herald House publishing unit in Delhi

Sonia Gandhi’s questioning in the case by the Enforcement Directorate had triggered huge protests last week in several parts of the country by the Congress workers as the party alleged misuse of the central probe agencies by the government. Three rounds of Congress chief's questioning have been carried out so far. She was questioned after her recovery from coronavirus and hospitalization due to the illness

Rahul Gandhi, who was questioned before his mother in the case, was detained with many other top leaders amid the massive demonstrations in the national capital.

The National Herald newspaper was founded by Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first prime minister, in 1938 amid the fight against British colonial rule.
