Robert Vadra marks attendance before ED in regard with money laundering case

For the fifth time, Robert Vadra, son-in-law of UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) here on Friday for questioning in connection with a money laundering case linked to the purchase of his London-based property. Vadra last appeared before the ED on Wednesday.

The investigative agency had earlier summoned Vadra to appear before it on Tuesday. However, he was unable to attend ED summons owing to poor health, his counsel said. "Robert Vadra is not able to attend the hearing today (Tuesday) for which he had been summoned by ED. He has been suffering from food poisoning since last night, as a result of which he is having acute diarrhoea and nausea," KTS Tulsi, his advocate, told ANI.

A Delhi court had on February 16 extended interim protection from arrest granted to Vadra and his close aide Manoj Arora till March 2 in connection with the case.
