The ED (Enforcement Directorate) has filed a chargesheet against Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra. It includes names of several other individuals and firms.
The chargesheet was filed regarding the 3.53-acre land deal in Gurugram’s Shikohpur in 2008. Vadra has been charged under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
This is the first chargesheet against Vadra, after his questioning in April, 2025. It has been found that Robert Vadra’s two bank accounts had only Rs 1 lakh when his firm purchased Rs 7.5 crore land in Shikohpur.
Incidentally, Robert Vadra’s firm applied to develop the land commercially and they got approval within 4 days from the Haryana government at the time.
It is also being said that Robert Vadra’s Sky Light Hospitality Private Ltd purchased the land without making any payment. The ED found stamp duty and other charges were provided by Omkareshwar Properties Pvt Ltd.
Later, Vadra’s company paid Rs 15.38 Cr to Omkareshwar Properties Pvt Ltd. This clearly shows that undervaluation of property was done, which led to a loss of revenue for the government.
Similarly, the clearances to develop the land commercially were given by the then Haryana government without checking the financial background of Robert Vadra’s company.
Robert Vadra is also entangled in money laundering case against arms middleman Sanjay Bhandari and a land deal in Bikaner, Rajasthan.
