New Delhi: Congress chief Rahul Gandhi's brother-in-law Robert Vadra, on Friday, skipped his questioning and informed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials that he is unwell. According to sources, Vadra, who was grilled by the investigators on Thursday is not cooperating with the agency. The Enforcement Directorate is probing a money-laundering case involving assets abroad. Vadra was supposed to depose in front of the officials at 2 pm but he sent his advocates in his stead.
ED has also opposed his anticipatory bail claiming that he is not cooperating. ED was supposed to get some details regarding the amount received by his company as kickbacks in the petroleum deals made in Gujarat. The agency had said that the money was used to buy properties in London. The officials also noted that the agency had got more leads.
