The Income Tax department questioned Robert Vadra, son-in-law of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, for about four hours on the second consecutive day on Tuesday in connection with its probe against him under the benami assets law, official sources said.

Vadra on Tuesday reiterated the allegations he had made the previous day — that the aim of the action was to “digress” from the “real issues” being faced by the country and the farmers.

A team from the Chandigarh investigation unit of the department, that is handling the probe, was seen going inside Vadra’s office in the Sukhdev Vihar area of the national Capital around 3 pm. They left after 6 pm.
