Robert Vadra, brother-in-law of Rahul Gandhi, is being questioned by the India — Enforcement Directorate for the third consecutive day in a money laundering case linked to a 2008 India — Haryana land deal. The probe focuses on Skylight Hospitality, a company where Robert Vadra was a director, which purchased 3.5 acres of land in Shikohpur from Onkareshwar Properties for Rs 7.5 crore and later sold it to DLF (company) for Rs 58 crore in 2012. The deal was flagged as controversial by IAS officer Ashok Khemka, who cancelled its mutation. Robert Vadra has termed the action a 'political vendetta' and claims to have cooperated with agencies, providing extensive documentation. The India — Enforcement Directorate is expected to file chargesheets against Robert Vadra in this and two other money laundering cases.
