The 56-year-old Vadra arrived at the federal probe agency's office located in central Delhi after 11 a.m. He was accompanied by Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, MP from Kerala's Wayanad Lok Sabha seat.

The businessman's statement was recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the sources said.

He was called by the agency twice last month for questioning in this case, but he sought deferment of his summons as he had to travel abroad.
