A day after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) issued summons in connection with the National Herald case, Congress President Sonia Gandhi tested positive for COVID-19, several party leaders said on 2 June. Congress' Randeep Surjewala said that the party president, who developed mild fever and some symptoms, had isolated herself and was given requisite medical attention, news agency ANI reported.

As she failed to turn up before the ED, it sent fresh summons to the Congress interim president and asked her to appear before the agency's officers on June 23 for questioning in a money laundering case.
