Robert Vadra Set to Face ED in Bhandari-Linked Money Laundering Case

The session is expected to shed light on alleged use of Vadra’s funds for London property renovations, preceding a likely PMLA chargesheet.

Robert Vadra had skipped the June 10 summons saying he had flu-like symptoms on June 9 and had undertaken a COVID test as per protocol.

Overview

  • He will appear on June 17 for an ED session in Delhi to record his statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
  • Vadra missed a June 10 summons after reporting flu-like symptoms and undergoing a COVID-19 test, prompting the fresh notice.
  • Investigators allege that Bhandari used criminal proceeds to purchase and renovate two London properties in 2009 on Vadra’s instructions using his funds.
  • Bhandari fled to London in 2016 following an income tax raid, and a UK court recently refused India’s appeal against his discharge in an extradition case.
  • This is one of three parallel ED probes into Vadra’s dealings, with his legal team accusing authorities of political harassment as a chargesheet nears.
