This is related to alleged financial violations in a deal in Haryana Shikohpur (Gurugram). In the past, he was questioned by the emergency department in two other money laundering cases.
Sources told PTI that the agency will file charges soon in three cases against Vadra in their respective Special Preventive Money Laundering Act (PMLA) courts.
Once the charge is filed, the agency will ask the court to admit the complaint and initiate a trial, adding that some companies and individuals can also be called defendants and witnesses in these charge forms.
Vadra, a member of MP from Wayanad Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, has repeatedly denied any misconduct.
One of the cases is related to a money laundering investigation into British weapons consultant Sanjay Bhandari and his alleged connection to Vadra. The 63-year-old Bhandari is said to have fled to London in 2016 shortly after the income tax department attacked him in Delhi.
The British court rejected the Indian government’s application earlier this month, demanding an appeal to the British Supreme Court in an extradition case against him to avoid evacuation of Bandari, effectively precluding him being taken to the country to face the law.
ED filed a fee form in this case in 2023, saying Bhandari had “acquired” London’s 12-Bryanston Square House in 2009 and had renovated and renovated according to Robert Vadra’s instructions, which provided funding for renovation. ”
Vadra denies possession of any London property directly or indirectly. He called the allegations “political witch hunting” and he claimed he was “being hounds and harassment” to maintain political purposes.
The third money laundering case in Vadra is being investigated and related to Bikaner’s land transactions. In the past, he and his mother, Maureen, were questioned by the emergency room in this case.
The agency conducted a criminal case in 2015 related to the Bikaner land transaction, aware of a series of FIRs and charges filed by Rajasthan police after Bikaner’s Tehsildar complained that due to its distance to the India-Indian-Pakstan border, it was considered suspected of forged land allocation in the region.
Vadra took the second day of the ouster in Delhi on Wednesday to record his alleged violations in the land transaction in Shikohpur, Haryana, in 2008.
He told reporters that the case was confirmed by a “political vendetta” against him and his family because he claimed that the people of the country “don’t trust the investigative body.”
Vadra said he has been working with investigative agencies and has provided thousands of pages of documents, highlighting the need for closures in a 20-year-long situation.
