NEW DELHI: A Delhi special court on Saturday declared arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari a Fugitive under the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act today, following an application by the Enforcement Directorate .
This ruling will likely strengthen India's position in pursuing his extradition from the United Kingdom, where he currently resides. Bhandari had escaped to London in 2016 when several investigative agencies began scrutinising his activities.
The development marks a significant challenge for Robert Vadra , who faces investigation regarding his alleged connections with the arms dealer.
This comes less than a month after Vadra issued fresh summons to businessman Robert Vadra in the case. The case centres around the Enforcement Directorate (ED), who in their 2023-filed chargesheet alleged that Bhandari purchased and renovated a property in London in 2009 using funds allegedly provided by Vadra. Vadra has denied any involvement, describing the charges as a "political witch hunt" and stating that he was being "hounded and harassed" to serve political ends.
