Charges on Vadra
Vadra is alleged to have bought 3.5 acres of land from Omkareshwar Properties, Skylite Hospitality Private Limited, a company associated with him. The mutation of this deal was also done in an unusual way. It is alleged that the then Bhupendra Singh Hooda government of Haryana gave a license to Robert Vadra’s company, allowing 2.70 acres of land from this land to develop as a commercial colony. After getting the license for the residential project, the price of the land increased. Later, the company associated with Vadra sold this land to DLF for 58 crores.
Later, the Hooda government transferred the license of the residential project to the DLF. In 2018, Haryana Police registered a case in the case related to this deal. Later, the ED also registered a case in this case and started investigation.
