Delhi Court Summons Robert Vadra in Money Laundering Case, Takes Congnisance of ED Chargesheet
The Enforcement Directorate says 43 immovable properties worth about Rs 37.64 crore were attached as it pursues money-laundering allegations tied to the deal.
- On Wednesday, a Delhi court summoned businessman Robert Vadra in connection with a money laundering case linked to a 3.5-acre land deal in Gurugram's Shikohpur. Special Judge Sushant Changotra ordered all accused to appear on May 16.
- The Enforcement Directorate alleges Skylight Hospitality Pvt Ltd, where Vadra was a director, fraudulently acquired the land in February 2008 using false declarations and personal influence. The firm later sold it to DLF for Rs 58 crore.
- Investigators claim a Rs 7.5 crore payment for the land was made via an uncashed cheque. The ED attached 43 immovable properties worth Rs 37.64 crore under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
- Rejecting defense arguments to delay proceedings, Judge Changotra stated there is 'no legal embargo' on the case; however, the court dismissed charges against accused Satyanand Yajee, citing insufficient material evidence.
- Vadra has denied wrongdoing, calling the case a 'political vendetta' against his family. The Enforcement Directorate is simultaneously examining his alleged links to a Bikaner land deal and a separate investigation involving arms consultant Sanjay Bhandari.
