AGENCIES / NEW DELHI
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) today told the Delhi High Court that Robert Vadra’s custodial interrogation was needed as the “money chain” was allegedly directly linked to him. The agency further contended before Justice Chandra Shekhar that Vadra was not cooperating with the investigation in a money laundering case against him.
Denying the claims of ED, Vadra’s lawyer said his client has cooperated in the investigation by appearing before the agency whenever he was summoned. After hearing the brief arguments, the court listed the matter for final arguments on 5th November.
The court was hearing ED’s plea challenging the anticipatory bail granted to Vadra by a trial court. Vadra is facing allegations of money laundering in the purchase of a London-based property worth over 17 crore rupees.
