Court to Consider Supplementary Charge Sheet Against Robert Vadra in Money Laundering Case

A supplementary charge sheet against Robert Vadra in a money laundering case involving arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari will be considered by the court on January 24. The Enforcement Directorate is investigating Vadra's financial dealings as part of a larger probe into Bhandari's questionable transactions.

The Rouse Avenue court has scheduled the consideration of the supplementary charge sheet filed against businessman Robert Vadra for January 24, linked to an ongoing money laundering case involving arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari.

Special Judge Sushant Changotra will oversee the matter, allowing the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to introduce a consolidated list of documents in a new supplementary charge sheet.

Last month, the ED filed its second supplementary prosecution complaint, officially naming Vadra as an accused in connection with money laundering activities tied to UK-based defense dealer Bhandari. Vadra, who was granted anticipatory bail by the Delhi Court in 2019, had appeared before the agency, where his PMLA statement was recorded. The investigation, part of a broader inquiry into Bhandari's financial dealings, has focused on possible illegal transactions linked to Vadra. Additionally, the businessman is being scrutinized in other money laundering cases related to land transaction irregularities. Meanwhile, Bhandari, now declared a Fugitive Economic Offender, has challenged the order before the Delhi High Court, which reserved its verdict in August.
