NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate has attached 43 properties valued at more than Rs 36 crore linked to businessman and husband of Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra , Robert Vadra and his companies, news agency PTI reported, quoting official sources.
The action is part of an ongoing investigation into an alleged money laundering case related to a land deal in Shikohpur village, Haryana. Officials confirmed that a chargesheet has also been filed against Vadra and others.
This is the first time a probe agency has filed a prosecution complaint against 56-year-old Robert Vadra in a criminal case.
According to sources, the chargesheet has been submitted against Vadra and a few others in a local court under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act ( PMLA ). Vadra was also questioned by the ED in April.
The case centres on a 2008 land purchase by Vadra’s firm Skylight Hospitality in Shikohpur, Gurgaon. The company bought around three acres for Rs 7.5 crore. Later, the Haryana town planning department issued a letter of intent for developing a commercial colony on part of the land.
Skylight then entered into a deal with real estate giant DLF to sell the land for Rs 58 crore. The sale was registered in DLF’s name.
Vadra has also been questioned by the ED in another money laundering case in the past.
