ED files chargesheet against Robert Vadra in money laundering case
PTC News Desk: The Enforcement Directorate on Thursday filed a chargesheet against Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's husband Robert Vadra in connection with a 2008 money laundering case linked to a land deal in Haryana's Shikohpur.
This is a first time that any probe agency has filed a chargesheet in a criminal case against Robert Vadra.
Vadra’s company, Skylight Hospitality, bought 3.53 acres of land for Rs 7.5 crore and later sold it to DLF for Rs 58 crore, allegedly without any development.
The probe agency has accused Vadra of earning over Rs 50 crore in illegal profit. The deal which also involves other political figures came to the fore in 2012 after IAS officer Ashok Khemka canceled the land mutation, citing legal violations.
Meanwhile, Robert Vadra has dismissed any wrongdoings and maintained that its a sheer case of political vendetta agains him and his family that comprises former Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi.
