A Delhi court on Saturday, 19 January, extended the interim protection from arrest granted to Manoj Arora, a close aide of UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra, in a money-laundering case till 6 February.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) told Special Judge Arvind Kumar that Arora was cooperating in the probe.
"He joined the probe yesterday. So far he is cooperating," Special Public Prosecutor D P Singh, appearing for the ED, said.
ED’s Special Public Prosecutor Nitesh Rana sought two more weeks for arguments on the application which was allowed by the court.
The case relates to allegations of money laundering in the purchase of a London-based property located at 12, Bryanston Square, worth 1.9 million pounds, which is allegedly owned by Vadra, the brother-in-law of Congress president Rahul Gandhi.
