India’s Enforcement Directorate has filed a prosecution complaint against businessman Robert Vadra in connection with a 2008 land transaction in Shikohpur, Gurugram. Officials said the chargesheet, lodged under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, also names several individuals and corporate entities, including former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda. Investigators allege that Vadra’s firm, Skylight Hospitality, bought 3.53 acres for Rs 7.5 crore and, after receiving change-of-land-use permission from the state government, agreed to sell the parcel to real-estate developer DLF for roughly Rs 58 crore, generating illicit gains. The ED has meanwhile attached 43 properties worth more than Rs 36 crore that it says are linked to the proceeds of the deal. Vadra, the husband of Congress lawmaker Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, was questioned by the agency on 14 July for more than 18 hours as part of the investigation. The case stems from an FIR registered in 2018 alleging criminal conspiracy, cheating, fraud and forgery in the land transfer.
