"It 's clearly a case of black money and money laundering … He was asked to cooperate, he told Mr Mehta that the l'. the agency needed Mr. Vadra's custody "otherwise we will not reach the truth." Mr. Mehta stated that no charge sheet had been filed at the request of Mr. Vadra. judge.

In the petition, ED stated: "The unfounded denials of the basic facts, unlike the respondent's exhibits in the case, only highlight his uncooperative and evasive attitude".
