 "ED issues second summons to Robert Vadra in Haryana land deal probe")
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday issued a second summons to Robert Vadra, businessman and brother-in-law of Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, in a money-laundering case related to the Shikhopur land deal in Haryana, news agency PTI reported, citing sources.
Vadra did not respond to the first summons, which was sent to him on 8th April. He has now been asked to appear for questioning as the ED investigates alleged financial irregularities involving his company, Skylight Hospitality.
Once he appears before the ED, the agency will record his statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) regarding the alleged scam related to money laundering from the land purchase, the sources told PTI.
According to the ED, Vadra’s company bought a 3.5-acre plot in Shikhopur, Gurgaon, from Omkareshwar Properties for Rs 7.5 crore in February 2008.
Vadra’s company later sold the land to real estate giant DLF for Rs 58 crore. The central investigating agency is alleging that the money was part of a laundering scheme.
Vadra has been questioned many times previously by the federal probe agency in a different money laundering case. He is the husband of Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi and is related to the country’s high-profile Nehru-Gandhi family.
