Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra made an “illegal profit” of over Rs 50 crore from a 2008 land deal without investing a penny, according to a panel that probed suspect Haryana land deals.
The Economic Times citing unnamed people familiar with the SN Dhingra commission report said the committee had probed transactions between Onkareshwar Properties and Vadra-owned Skylight Hospitality and subsequently between Skylight and developer DlF.
The Dhingra commission investigated over 20 properties said to have been purchased by Vadra and his companies, said the paper.
The panel has observed an alleged collusion between dealers and the then Congress Government of Bhupinder Singh Hooda, aimed at benefiting Vadra’s Skylight. The commission was set up by the Manohar lal Khattar’s BJP government in May 2015 to look into the grant of licences for change in land use in four villages of Gurgaon, including the licence granted to Skylight.
The Economic Times said the Vadra-owned hospitality firm had bought land from Onkareshwar Properties.
