New Delhi: An investigation conducted by Times Now has revealed businessman Robert Vadra’s links with absconding arms agent, Sanjay Bhandari.

Documents accessed by Times Now Managing Editor (political) Navika Kumar clearly indicate a nexus between the Gandhi son-in-law and absconding arms dealer.

The document – in form of emails – revealed that the absconding arms dealer Bhandari booked business-class tickets for Vadra in 2012.

The bookings were made through a travel agent Vishal Bajpai via International Travel Home. The tickers were first sent to Bhandari, who then sent it across to Robert Vadra.

It has come to light that tickets worth Rs 10 lakh and above – all business class – were booked in the name of Vadra.

According to the email trail, Bhandari bought tickets for the tainted businessman at a time when the arms dealer was being investigated for his role in swinging a jet trainer deal for Swiss company Pilatus.

The fact that one of the tickets booked for Vadra was to Zurich, the financial capital of Switzerland, hints at his involvement in the Pilatus deal. However, there is no clarity on the issue as of now, and Times Now is awaiting a reply from his side.

A questionnaire vis-à-vis the email trail has already been sent to Robert Vadra. It has to be noted that Vadra and his lawyers had earlier denied having any links with the absconding arms dealer.
