The Rajasthan Government has written to the CBI for a probe into alleged land scams in Bikaner, including those involving a company of Congress president Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra.
The Congress reacted to this development by accusing the State Government of misusing CBI ahead of Assembly polls.
“As many as 18 FIRs are registered and 4 of them are against Vadra’s company which was allegedly involved in illegal purchase of nearly 275 bigha land. All the 18 FIRs are in connection with purchase of close to 1400 bigha land in fake names,” Home Minister Gulab chand Kataria said on Tuesday.
Vadra’s company was third party to purchase 275 bigha land in 2010 and it sold it to fourth party in 2012.
