Robert Vadra visits ED office for questioning money laundering case

Congress leader and Robert Vadra's wife Priyanka Gandhi accompanied him and dropped him to the office of the ED in Delhi.

Speaking to NDTV, Priyanka said: "I support my family."

Priyanka joined active politics recently.

Priyanka has been given the charge of that part of Uttar Pradesh, from where Prime Minister Narendra Modi had won in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls. 

A Delhi court had directed Robert Vadra recently to join the investigation in the case when he had applied for anticipatory bail last week. 

The case is involving the purchase and possession of certain immovable assets in London city.

Vadra last week got an anticipatory bail on Saturday in connection with a money-laundering case lodged by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

Vadra, the brother-in-law of Congress president Rahul Gandhi, has been granted anticipatory bail till Feb 16.

Earlier, Vadra's close aide and other accused in the case, Manoj Arora, was granted anticipatory bail.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) in November last year had summoned Vadra in the Bikaner land grab case, which concerns a number of companies associated with Vadra that were allegedly involved in fraudulent land deals. The ED is carrying out the probe based on FIRs filed by Rajasthan police in 2015.

Robert Vadra was earlier accused in the DLF land grab scam case related to a 50-acre land grab in 2013 in Amipur village of Haryana during the Congress' Bhupinder Singh Hooda government.

The CBI was investigating Robert Vadra, Hooda and DLF in the case.
