Robert Vadra appears before ED in Haryana land deal case, alleges 'political vendetta'

Vadra was initially summoned for questioning on April 8, but he did not appear before the probe agency.

Businessman Robert Vadra, husband of Congress leader and MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Delhi on Tuesday for questioning in a money laundering case linked to a land deal in Haryana's Shikohpur.

Vadra, 56, walked nearly 2 km from his Sujan Singh Park residence to the ED office on APJ Abdul Kalam Road, accompanied by security personnel and media.

Speaking to reporters, he termed the action against him as a “political vendetta,” alleging, “Whenever I speak for minorities, they try to stop me… this is misuse of agencies.” He also added that he would fully cooperate with the agency as he has done in the past.

The central agency, Tuesday morning, issued a fresh summons to Vadra, in connection with its ongoing probe into the Shikopur land deal case.

Vadra, the brother-in-law of the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, was initially summoned for questioning on April 8, but he did not appear before the probe agency. The agency has now asked him to present himself later this week for questioning and to submit documents related to the Gurugram land transaction.

Once he appears, the ED will record his statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), reported PTI.

The case involves alleged irregularities in the land deal.

Vadra has previously been questioned by the agency in another money laundering case and has denied all allegations, calling the probe politically motivated.
