ED seeks custodial interrogation of Robert Vadra in money laundering case

Enforcement Directorate (ED) is seeking custodial interrogation of Robert Vadra in a money laundering case. This comes after ED opposed Robert Vadra's plea seeking quashing of a money laundering case in which he was questioned by the probe agency, saying it was not maintainable as he "wilfully suppressed" material facts from the court.

The ED contended that the plea of Vadra, brother-in-law of Congress president Rahul Gandhi, was an abuse of process of law.

The ED case relates to allegations of money laundering in the purchase of a London-based property at 12, Bryanston Square, worth 1.9 million pounds. The property is allegedly owned by Vadra.
