The Congress MP from Wayanad has spent more than 50 hours at the ED office over five sittings with the investigators questioning him over multiple sessions and recording his statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
Congress leaders earlier staged a Satyagraha at the party headquarters in Delhi alleging "misuse" of the Enforcement Directorate and "harassment" of Gandhi by the central agency.
The protesting leaders, including Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, later announced a march to Jantar Mantar here, but the police prevented them for lack of permission.
