A Delhi court on Monday allowed Robert Vadra, accused in a money laundering case, to travel abroad for six weeks.

Special judge Arvind Kumar allowed him to travel to the US and the Netherlands and asked him to submit his travel schedule.

The court, however, did not allow Vadra, who is the brother-in law of Congress president Rahul Gandhi, to go to London.

During the arguments, Vadra's counsel K.T.S. Tulsi told the court that he will not go to London, as per his earlier prayer, if the Enforcement Directorate had an objection.

Solicitor-general 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 worth 1.9 million pounds.
