Overview

  • Robert Vadra appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning in a money laundering investigation tied to a 2008 Haryana land deal involving his firm, Skylight Hospitality.
  • The ED has summoned Vadra again after over six hours of questioning, with allegations that his firm profited disproportionately from a land sale, raising suspicions of financial irregularities.
  • In a parallel development, the ED filed a chargesheet against Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and other Congress figures in the National Herald money laundering case, accusing them of using bogus transactions to acquire assets valued at over ₹2,000 crore.
  • The ED has initiated measures to seize immovable assets worth ₹661 crore linked to the National Herald case, including properties in Delhi, Mumbai, and Lucknow.
