ED issues fresh summon to Robert Vadra over Haryana land deal
The Enforcement Directorate on Tuesday issued second summon to Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s husband Robert Vadra for questioning in connection with a money-laundering probe linked to the Shikhopur land deal in Haryana.
Vadra’s company Skylight Hospitality had purchased around three acres in Shikohpur village of Gurgaon for Rs 7.5 crore in 2008. After some time, Haryana’s town planning department had issued a letter of intent to set up a commercial colony on 2.71 acres of this land.
In 2008, Skylight and DLF had entered into an agreement to sell the three acres to DLF for Rs 58 crore. Sale deed of the land was registered in favour of DLF.
Vadra, 56, was first summoned in this case on April 8 but he did not depose.
Once he appears before the ED, the agency will record his statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the sources said.
Vadra was earlier questioned by the federal probe agency in a different money laundering case.
