The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has, for the first time, mentioned Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi’s name in the money laundering case associated with NRI businessman CC Thampi. This case is part of a larger investigation involving fugitive arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari. ED alleges a “long and thick” relationship between Robert Vadra and CC Thampi, citing common business interests.
According to the ED statement, Vadra and Priyanka Gandhi purchased and sold land in Haryana through a Delhi-based real estate agent who also dealt with Thampi. The charge sheet claims that Vadra did not pay the full amount for the land purchase, and the estate agent received cash out of the books.
