ED raids Robert Vadra's associates in defence deals bribery case

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) Friday carried out searches against three people linked to Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra in connection with its probe into alleged "commissions received by some suspects in defence deals" and illegal assets stashed abroad, officials said. This is for the first time that Vadra's associates have been linked to alleged commissions received in defence deals by the ED.

The raids that began around 12 noon were carried out at multiple premises in Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru, they said.
