The Enforcement Directorate Friday moved the Delhi High Court seeking cancellation of anticipatory bail granted to Robert Vadra in a money laundering case, news agency PTI reported.

Vadra, brother-in-law of Congress President Rahul Gandhi, was granted anticipatory bail by a trial court in Delhi on April 1.

The plea filed by ED Prosecutor D P Singh, according to PTI, stated that the protection offered to Vadra would undermine the ongoing investigation against him.

Besides Vadra, the agency has also challenged the anticipatory bail granted to his close aide Manoj Arora. Vadra is facing allegations of money laundering in connection with the purchase of a London-based property at 12, Bryanston Square worth 1.9 million pounds.

More details are awaited.
