The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested NRI businessman CC Thampi in connection with its money laundering probe against Robert Vadra, the son-in-law of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, and absconding arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari for acquisition of alleged illegal assets abroad, officials said on Monday.

CC Thampi is stated to be "controlling" a Dubai-based company Sky Light. In 2009, Sanjay Bhandari's firm Santech FZE purchased a London asset from a private company, which was acquired by Sky Light.

Robert Vadra is alleged to have acquired this London-based asset, and few purported emails between him and Sanjay Bhandari, regarding renovation of this flat, are part of the evidence in the case.
