A special CBI court in Delhi, on Monday, 3 June, allowed Robert Vadra to travel abroad for six weeks for medical treatment, news agency ANI reported.

Vadra has been allowed by Court to travel to USA and Netherlands but he cannot travel to London. Subsequently, Vadra has withdrawn his travel request to London. Special Judge Arvind Kumar also asked him to submit his travel schedule.

According to ANI, the court also said in case any look out circular is issued, it will remain suspended during this period.

During the arguments, Vadra's counsel KTS Tulsi told the court that Vadra will not go to London, as per his earlier prayer, if the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had an objection.

Solicitor Gen Tushar Mehta and advocate Nitesh Rana, appearing for the ED, had opposed Vadra's plea in which he had sought permission to travel to the UK and other countries citing health reasons.

Vadra is facing allegations of money laundering in purchase of a property in London at 12, Bryanston Square, worth 1.9 million pounds.
