Businessman Robert Vadra's lawyer KTS Tulsi speaking to reporters outside ED office in Delhi on Thursday.

New Delhi [India], Feb 7 (ANI): The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is leaking information about its questioning of Congress president Rahul Gandhi's brother-in-law Robert Vadra, alleged the businessman's lawyer.
KTS Tulsi told reporters here that the ED has nothing concrete against his client.  
Vadra, is being questioned by the probe agency for the second consecutive day in connection to a money laundering case.
He was questioned for around six hours for the first time in the case on Wednesday. The probe agency has alleged that Vadra owns several properties in the United Kingdom.
"The first principle of any investigation is that it's confidential. But ED here is leaking information as they know they have nothing to be investigated. They are calling people only to bring bad name to them," Tulsi told reporters here on Thursday.
The senior Congress lawyer asserted that justice was being delayed and denied.
Lashing out at the Centre, Tulsi said: "The government is frustrated. Not a single money for the purchase of properties (in the United Kingdom) went out of India. So how can there be any proof regarding this? This is all a conspiracy being hatched by the government as elections are around the corner. This is nothing but vendetta politics."
Raking up the Rafale deal issue, the senior lawyer alleged: "This is being done to divert the attention of the people in the Rafale matter. They (government) do not have an answer. People know to whom Rs 35,000 crore was given to."
Tulsi further said that Vadra's documents including bank statements, property details and personal companies details were submitted to the investigators four years back and they had nothing to prove. (ANI)
