FORMER HARYANA CM MANOHAR LAL KHATTAR IN JULY 2024 SEEMINGLY ABSOLVED VADRA OF ILLEGALITY, SAYING THE MATTER DOES NOT INVITE A JAIL TERM
CHANDIGARH: Investigations into a 2018 first information report (FIR) pertaining to suspected irregularities in a land transaction between Sky Light Hospitality of Robert Vadra and realty major DLF Ltd in Gurugram's Shikohpur have not made much progress despite the reconstitution of a special investigation team by the BJP government in 2023.
Tuesday's questioning of Vadra by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case originates from the FIR registered by Haryana police on September 1, 2018 against former chief minister, Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Vadra and others.
What was the land deal?
The land deal involved Vadra's Sky Light Hospitality, Onkareshwar properties and DLF. Sky Light was granted a real estate development licence by the town and country planning department for developing a commercial colony on 2.701 acres in Shikohpur village (now sector 83), Gurugram on December 15, 2008. Later, Sky Light, by way of a sale deed of September 18, 2012, sold 3.53 acres including the licensed area of 2.701 acres to DLF for ₹58 crore. The licence was cancelled by the department after seven years on March 9, 2022.
