Robert Vadra Charged in Haryana Land Deal

A Delhi court has taken cognisance of an India===Enforcement Directorate chargesheet against businessman Robert Vadra in a money laundering case. The case is linked to a 2008 land deal in Haryana's Shikohpur, where Skylight Hospitality, a company where Robert Vadra was a director, purchased 3.5 acres of land from Onkareshwar Properties for Rs 7.5 crore. Four years later, the land was sold to DLF (company) for Rs 58 crore. The deal became controversial in 2012 when IAS officer Ashok Khemka cancelled the mutation, citing violations. Robert Vadra denies any wrongdoing, calling the case a 'political vendetta' against him and his family, including Priyanka Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, and Rahul Gandhi. The India===Enforcement Directorate is also investigating Robert Vadra in other cases, including one involving Sanjay Bhandari.
