The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned businessman Robert Vadra for questioning in connection with a money laundering case linked to fugitive arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari.
Vadra, brother-in-law of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, is expected to appear before the authorities as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged financial misconduct.
According to sources, the probe revolves around transactions involving Bhandari, who is accused of illegal dealings and tax evasion. Officials aim to establish Vadra’s role, if any, in the alleged financial irregularities.
The ED has been investigating Bhandari’s dealings for several years, with allegations of illicit transactions and undisclosed assets surfacing during previous inquiries. Vadra has previously denied any wrongdoing, dismissing claims of financial impropriety as politically motivated.
This latest development adds to the string of high-profile investigations that have put political figures under scrutiny ahead of key elections. The Congress party has yet to issue an official response to the summons.
