A few months ago Robert Vadra was constantly being called to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office. During that time, the ED even told the Delhi High Court that Robert Vadra needs to be detained and questioned. The investigating agency had contended that he was allegedly directly related to the links of money transactions. The ED accused Vadra of not cooperating in the investigation of the money laundering case against him.
Vadra’s lawyer, however, dismissed the ED’s claims, stating that whenever the agency called his client, he appeared before them and had fully cooperated in the investigation. The lawyer had also said that the questions posed by the ED were answered by his client and not accepting the allegations leveled against him does not mean that he is not cooperating.
Vadra was granted anticipatory bail by the trial court, which the ED challenged in the High Court. Vadra is accused of money laundering in the purchase of property worth Rs 17 crore at 12, Bryanston Square, London.
