Robert Vadra skips ED summons in PMLA case linked to Sanjay Bhandari
The federal probe agency had questioned the 56-year-old businessman for three consecutive days in April in a separate money laundering case linked to alleged irregularities in a 2008 land deal in Haryana. The sources said Vadra sought an adjournment of Tuesday's summons, and he will now be given a fresh date. The ED wants to record Vadra's statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and then file a chargesheet against him before the court, sources said. New Delhi, Jun 10 (PTI) Robert Vadra, the businessman husband of Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, on Tuesday skipped an ED summons for questioning in a money laundering case linked to UK-based alleged arms consultant Sanjay Bhandari, official sources said. Bhandari (63) fled to London in 2016, soon after the Income Tax Department raided him in Delhi. A UK court earlier this month refused an application filed by the Indian government seeking permission to appeal in Britain's Supreme Court against the discharge of Bhandari in an extradition case, virtually ruling out chances of him being brought to the country to face the law. The ED filed a chargesheet in this case in 2023, alleging that Bhandari acquired the 12, Bryanston Square house in London in 2009 and got it renovated 'as per the directions of Robert Vadra, who provided the funds for the renovation'. Vadra has denied that he owns any London property directly or indirectly. Terming the charges a 'political witch hunt', Vadra said he was being 'hounded and harassed' to subserve political ends. The ED is also investigating Vadra in a separate money laundering case linked to alleged financial irregularities in a land deal in Rajasthan's Bikaner. The federal probe agency had previously questioned Vadra and his mother, Maureen, in this case. PTI NES ARI This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

MUDA Scam case: ED attaches 92 immovable properties of value Rs 100 Crore
Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], June 10 (ANI): The Enforcement Directorate (ED), Bangalore Zonal Office has provisionally attached 92 immovable properties (MUDA sites) having a market value of Rs. 100 Crore (approx.) on Tuesday under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, in connection with the MUDA case, according to the official statement. As per the release, the attached properties are registered in the name of entities such as housing cooperative societies and individuals who are fronts or dummies for influential persons, including MUDA officials. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) initiated an investigation based on an FIR registered by the Lokayuktha Police, Mysore, under various sections of the IPC, 1860 and the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, against Siddaramaiah and others, who is the incumbent Chief Minister of Karnataka. ED investigation revealed a large-scale scam in allotment of MUDA sites by flouting various statutes and government orders/ guidelines and by other fraudulent means. The role of ex-MUDA commissioners, including GT Dinesh Kumar, has emerged as instrumental in the illegal allotment of compensation sites to ineligible entities/individuals. The evidence with respect to obtaining bribes for making illegal allotments in the form of cash, bank transfer, movable/ immovable properties has been gathered during the course of the investigation, as per the release. The modus operandi for making illegal allotment involved identification of ineligible beneficiaries and making allotment using fake documents/incomplete documents in direct violation of government orders and also back dating of allotment letters in some cases. The gratification received for making these illegal allotments was routed through a co-operative society and bank accounts of the relatives/associates of the officers playing a key role in the allotment process. The gratification thus received was further used to purchase some of these illegally allotted MUDA sites in the name of relatives of MUDA officers. It is pertinent to mention here that the attachment of these 92 MUDA sites are in continuation to the previous attachment of 160 MUDA sites having a market value of approximately Rs. 300 Crore. The cumulative market value of the Proceeds of Crime provisionally attached so far is approximately Rs. 400 Crore. Further investigation is under progress. (ANI)
