Robert Vadra skips ED summons second time

Robert Vadra, a businessman and the husband of Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, skipped his scheduled deposition before the Enforcement Directorate for the second time in a money laundering case linked to U.K.-based arms consultant Sanjay Bhandari, official sources said on Tuesday (June 17, 2025).

He was asked to appear on Tuesday (June 17, 2025) after he failed to do so on June 10.

Sources close to Mr. Vadra said he has communicated his travel plan to the UAE and U.K. for this week in advance to the agency and that he would join the probe once he is back in India.

He skipped the June 10 summons saying he had flu-like symptoms on June 9 and had undertaken a COVID test as per protocol.
