NEW DELHI: The searches by Enforcement Directorate (ED) against three persons linked to Robert Vadra continued on Saturday with official sources saying the action is being undertaken by the agency on the basis of two criminal FIRs filed by it.
They said the central probe agency is questioning at least four persons on the second day of the raids.
The sources said the agency is recording the statements of these people, who have not been identified till now, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The raids are being conducted as part of ED’s money laundering FIRs, called ECIRs in the agency’s parlance, in the Bikaner land scam case and one against absconding arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari, they said.
ECIR stands for Enforcement Case Information Report.
While Vadra linked firm Skylight Hospitality and its officials have been grilled by the ED in the Bikaner land scam case, the agency has twice issued summons to Vadra, the brother-in-law of Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, to appear in this case. (AGENCIES)
