US Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha, the first Indian-American Second Lady, are set to visit India early next week that will see him hold talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The US vice president will travel to Italy this week and then to India, a spokesperson of Vance told CBS News.

US National Security Adviser Michael Waltz had also planned to visit India early next week but the trip has been postponed, people...

In a significant development, six BJP-ruled states including Madhya Pradesh and Assam have approached the Supreme Court to support the constitutionality of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025.

ED questions Robert Vadra in land deal case, summons him again on April 16

TREND | 15 Apr 2025

Business Standard

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday recorded the statement of Robert Vadra, businessman and brother-in-law of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, for about five hours in a 2008 Haryana land deal-linked money laundering case, official sources said. He has been asked to depose again on Wednesday for continuing the grilling session, the sources said. Terming the agency's move to summon him as "political vendetta", Vadra said he has spent hours with the ED earlier during questioning (in separate money laundering cases), sharing thousands of pages but still the agency has been raking up cases against him. The 56-year-old walked down from his residence at Sujan Singh Park in central Delhi to the ED headquarters on APJ Abdul Kalam Road, a two-km stretch. He entered the ED office at 11 am along with his lawyer while his security team stayed out. Speaking to reporters on the way to the ED office, he alleged, "This is nothing but political vendetta.
