Businessman Robert Vadra has moved a Delhi court seeking anticipatory bail in a money laundering case lodged by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The case relates to allegations of money laundering in the purchase of a London-based property worth over 17 crore rupees, which is allegedly owned by Vadra, the brother-in-law of Congress President Rahul Gandhi. Vadra's anticipatory bail application is likely to
be heard by the court today.
Prosecution lawyer said, Vadra's close aide Manoj Arora was granted interim protection from arrest till February 6 by the court in this case. ED said, Arora, an employee of Vadra's Skylight Hospitality was aware of Vadra's overseas undeclared assets and played instrumental role in arranging funds.
