New Delhi, Delhi – The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued a fresh summons to businessman Robert Vadra, son-in-law of Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, in connection with an ongoing money laundering investigation related to a land deal in Shikohpur village, Gurugram. Sources familiar with the development confirmed the summons, marking a renewed focus on the controversial transaction.
This has not been the first time Vadra has been asked to appear before the agency in this matter. He was previously summoned on April 8th but reportedly did not appear. The current summons requires his presence at the ED office on Tuesday. Vadra had been issued summons under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and has been asked to appear before the federal agency on Tuesday.
Responding to the summons, Robert Vadra said that it is a “political vendetta by the BJP”. Vadra further added that “Whenever I raise the people’s voice, they try to suppress me. I have nothing to hide. They can ask me whatever they want and I’ll answer them.”
The probe stems from a First Information Report (FIR) filed by the Haryana police in 2018, concerning a land deal dating back to 2008. It is alleged that Vadra’s firm, Skylight Hospitality Pvt Ltd, purchased a 3.5-acre plot in Shikohpur from Onkareshwar Properties for ₹7.5 crore. Subsequently, the land was allegedly sold to DLF for a significantly higher amount.
ED officials stated that the questioning aims to further investigate the financial transactions and potential irregularities associated with the deal under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Vadra has previously faced questioning by the ED in connection with other money laundering cases.
