The Enforcement Directorate has filed a chargesheet against businessman Robert Vadra in a money laundering case linked to UK-based arms consultant Sanjay Bhandari. According to the official sources, the prosecution complaint has been filed before a special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court. This is the second money laundering chargesheet against Vadra. In July this year, he was chargesheeted by the ED in a money laundering case linked to alleged irregularities in a land deal in Haryana’s Shikohpur.

Vadra has been questioned by the ED in the Bhandari-linked case in the past. Bhandari, whose extradition request has been turned down by a UK court, was declared a fugitive economic offender by a Delhi court in July this year. The ED filed a criminal case against Bhandari and others under the PMLA in February 2017, taking cognisance of the IT department chargesheet.
