Without spending any amount, Congress President Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra made unlawful gains of Rs 50 crore from Haryana land deal in 2008, the Economic Times has reported.
Without spending any amount, Congress President Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra made unlawful gains of Rs 50 crore from Haryana land deal in 2008, the Economic Times has reported.
According to the report, the remarks were made by the Justice S N Dhingra commission which has filed in the Supreme Court the inquiry report that relates to alleged irregularities in land deals.
People familiar with the commission's report told the daily that there was collusion aimed at benefiting Vadra's company.
The one-man Justice Dhingra commission, which had given its inquiry report to the Haryana Government in August last year, had probed the alleged irregularities in granting of licences to developers in four villages of Gurgaon by the previous Congress government.
The commission has inquired into over 20 properties said to have been purchased by Vadra and his company. One of the persons familiar with the commission's report said that Skylight Hospitality, had bought land from Onkareshwar Properties which was then sold to developer DLF at a much higher price after the change in land use, resulting in the Rs 50.5 crore profit.
However, Vadra's lawyer has refuted the allegations and said that no laws had been violated in the deal. Former Chief Minister of Haryana Bhupinder Singh Hooda has also challenged the constitutional validity of the commission.
Responding to the media reports on the Justice Dhingra commission report, Haryana CM Manohar Khattar has said, "There is no leak, if at all such a thing comes up, it will be matter of probe."
Meanwhile, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has said her finances had nothing to do with those of her husband Robert Vadra's or his company Skylight Hospitality which is under Haryana government's scanner over its land deals with realty major DLF. The statement was issued after questions over whether a portion of the money Vadra had received from DLF was used by his wife Priyanka to buy properties in Faridabad in Haryana.
Vadra and others were allegedly granted favours by the Hooda-led state government in issuing licences to develop commercial properties in Gurgaon's Sector 83.
Vadra came into controversy after he bought a 3.5-acre plot in Gurgaon in 2008 for Rs 7.5 crores and after three months, he sold the same plot to real estate developer DLF for Rs 58 crores.
The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) had pointed out that Vadra's firm, Skylight Hospitality, had not submitted documents on financial adequacy, but was still granted a licence.
It has also learnt that the 182-page report points to the alleged connivance of the Hooda government in favouring Vadra and others.
