Businessman Robert Vadra, summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a money laundering investigation, is reportedly not appearing before the agency today. According to sources, Vadra is traveling abroad and intends to join the probe upon his return to India.
On June 12, Vadra's lawyer, Advocate Suman Jyoti Khaitan, addressed the media in a virtual press conference to clarify the situation surrounding his client's absence from the scheduled ED appearance. Khaitan, speaking via Zoom, emphasized that reports suggesting Vadra is evading summons are incorrect. Vadra is said to have developed flu-like symptoms and underwent a COVID-19 test, adhering to health precautions.
Despite recent allegations, Vadra is cooperating with authorities by offering to participate through virtual channels and previously submitting extensive documentation to the ED. The investigation relates to a case involving UK-based arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari, with Vadra denying accusations of financial misconduct, labeling them as politically motivated.
