ED Names Robert Vadra in Supplementary Chargesheet Over London Property in Bhandari Probe

Investigators say he failed to explain overseas evidence, with the case listed before a special PMLA court on December 6.

Overview

  • The Enforcement Directorate filed the supplementary prosecution complaint on November 15 in Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court, which will take up the matter on December 6.
  • The agency alleges Vadra beneficially used and funded the furnishing of 12, Bryanston Square in London, treating the flat as proceeds of crime acquired by Sanjay Bhandari.
  • Officials say Vadra was confronted in July with evidence sourced from other countries and did not provide a satisfactory explanation during his PMLA statement.
  • Vadra denies any direct or indirect ownership of London property and calls the case a political witch-hunt.
  • Sanjay Bhandari was declared a fugitive economic offender this year and UK courts curtailed extradition options, while the ED has provisionally attached dozens of properties in the wider probe.
