[New Delhi]Robert Vadra Gets Judicial Nod For His Foreign Trips Except London
A Delhi court Monday allowed Robert Vadra, accused in a money laundering case, to travel abroad for six weeks.
Special Judge Arvind Kumar allowed him to travel to USA and the Netherlands for six weeks and asked him to submit his travel schedule.
The court, however, did not allow Vadra, brother-in law of Congress President Rahul Gandhi, to go to London.
During the arguments, Vadra’s counsel KTS Tulsi told the court that Vadra will not go to London, as per his earlier prayer, if the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had an objection.
Solicitor Gen Tushar Mehta and advocate Nitesh Rana, appearing for the ED, had opposed Vadra’s plea in which he had sought permission to travel to the UK and other countries citing health reasons.
Vadra is facing allegations of money laundering in purchase of a property in London at 12, Bryanston Square, worth 1.9 million pounds.

[Chandigarh,Punjab]ED Issues Fresh Summons to Capt Amarinder’s Ailing Son in FEMA Case
Former Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh’s son Raninder has been issued a fresh summons to appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Punjab in connection with its probe against him for alleged forex contraventions and holding of untaxed foreign assets.
Official sources said Raninder has been asked to appear before the investigating officer (IO) in the case on July 14 at the ED zonal office in Jalandhar.
He has also been asked to bring personal financial documents with him, they said.
This is the second summons to Raninder after he had sought exemption from personal appearance last month, citing health reasons.
Raninder has been summoned to explain the alleged movement of funds to Switzerland and creation of a trust and a few subsidiaries in the tax haven of British Virgin Islands.
The alleged violations had earlier been investigated by the Income Tax department and a case in this regard was being heard in a court in Punjab. The next hearing in the case is slated for July 26.
Raninder had earlier said he did not have anything to hide and was willing to cooperate with the probe.
The case came to light when the Income Tax department received information about Raninder allegedly holding the offshore account in the alpine nation as part of details received by the Central Board of Direct Taxes from its French counterparts in 2011.
The sources said ED investigators have gathered necessary documents from a competent court in Punjab and RBI, and they suspect “contravention of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA)” by the accused.
Both Raninder and his father Amarinder, a Congress MP, have denied any wrongdoing and termed as “false” the charges

FM Hooked Modigate And Called Congress’s All Allegations On MEA Baseless
[New Delhi]FM Hooked Modigate And Called Congress’s All Allegations On MEA Baseless
Arun Jaitley Called Congress’s All Allegations baseless.
Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today sought to do some damage control by coming out in defence of Sushma Swaraj over her help to scam-tainted Lalit Modi while Prime Minister Narendra Modi continued to be targeted in the ‘Modigate’ by Congress.
Two days after the raging controversy broke out triggering a political storm for the Modi government, Jaitley, Swaraj, who holds the External Affairs portfolio, and Home Minister Rajnath Singh met in the Home Ministry and discussed the entire issue for an hour before Singh and Jaitley held a press conference.
“All allegations levelled are baseless. Her (Swaraj) statement and that of the party President (show) that whatever she did was with good intentions.
“She acted bona fide. The entire government and the party are one on the issue. There should be no doubt on this,” Jaitley said with Singh by his side.
Jaitley’s defence of his cabinet colleague comes two days after party President Amit Shah and Rajnath Singh had asserted that Swaraj had acted on humanitarian considerations in the matter of helping former IPL boss Lalit Modi get travel documents from Britain.
Modi, former IPL boss, has taken refuge in London for over five years after the Enforcement Directorate levelled money laundering and other charges against him involving an amount of Rs 1,700 crore and wants him for investigations in India in the 2009 IPL scam.
Speculation has been rife over the “silence” of Jaitley after the controversy broke out on Sunday over Swaraj’s help to Lalit Modi.
There have been reports that the Finance Ministry and the External Affairs Ministry are involved in a blame game over who should appeal against the Delhi High Court order quashing the revocation of Lalit Modi’s passport in August last year.
