The 83-year-old former Union minister on Wednesday, the second time this week, was questioned by the ED in connection with a money-laundering probe into an alleged multi-crore scam in the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA).
After the questioning on Monday, Abdullah had said he was not worried and would cooperate in the probe.
ED officials said Abdullah’s statement will be recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) as in the past. He was questioned for the first time in the case in July last year in Chandigarh.
