Court allows Robert Vadra to travel abroad for medical treatment
New Delhi, Jun 3 (IBNS): A special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court on Monday allowed Congress president Rahul Gandhi's brother-in-law Robert Vadra, who is an accused in a money laundering case, abroad for medical treatment, media reports said.
The court has allowed Vadra to travel to either US or Netherlands. Consequently, Vadra withdrew his travel request to London.
Recently, the CBI had sought cancellation of Vadra's anticipatory bail and his plea to go abroad.
ED has made allegations of money laundering in the purchase of a London based property located at 12, Bryanston Square worth 1.9 million pounds which is allegedly owned by Vadra.
The probe agency has alleged that Manoj Arora, an employee of Vadra's Skylight Hospitality LLP, was a key person in the case as he was aware of the latter's overseas undeclared assets and instrumental in arranging funds.
Vadra is also accused in alleged irregularities in land deals in Gurugram of Haryana. A First Information Report (FIR) was lodged against Vadra and former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda in September last year in connection with land deals.
Its alleged that Vadra's company Skylight Hospitality sold 3.5 acres of land in 2008 in Shikohpur village to DLF at a rate much higher than the prevailing rate. Questions have also been raised over the purchase and subsequent sale of land by the company in Bikaner, Rajasthan, at a significant premium through a maze of transactions.
