Enforcement Directorate (ED) is questioning Gandhi for a third day in connection with its money laundering probe linked to the National Herald newspaper.

Police have barricaded roads leading to Delhi from Gurugram amid intelligence inputs that Congress supporters were being mobilised from Rajasthan and Haryana to join protests in New Delhi. Special arrangements have also been made on the Sardar Patel Marg, Dhaula Kuan Flyover, and Gurugram road due to a VVIP movement, the police said.

In a series of tweets, the police issued advisories about the closure of roads, restrictions, and diversions of traffic. “On 15.6.22 [Wednesday], kindly avoid Motilal Nehru Marg, Akbar Road, Janpath & Man Singh Road between 0700 hrs & 1200 hrs. Due to special arrangements traffic movement will not be possible on these roads,” it tweeted.

A police officer said adequate traffic personnel have been deployed to manage the traffic.
