An ED official told , "Thampi was arrested from New Delhi on Friday evening in connection with its probe involving overseas' assets of Vadra."The agency said that the arrest of Thampi comes in the wake of the investigation involving Vadra, who is being probed in a money laundering case involving foreign assets worth pound 1.9 million in the UK.An ED official revealed that the agency has detected some alleged undisclosed transactions being made from other foreign countries for the purchase of these properties by people linked to Vadra.The ED had found the link in the form of Thampi, through whom the financial probe agency suspects kickbacks were routed in a petroleum deal in 2009.Thampi was questioned by the agency in April last year.According to the agency officials, the discrepancies in Vadra's and NRI businessman's statements were the reason for Thampi's arrest.
