Overview

  • Robert Vadra appeared at the Enforcement Directorate's Delhi office on April 15, 2025, following a second summons in a money laundering probe linked to a 2008 land deal in Haryana's Shikohpur village.
  • The investigation focuses on Vadra's firm, Skylight Hospitality Pvt Ltd, which purchased land for ₹7.5 crore and later sold it at a significantly higher value to DLF after obtaining development permissions.
  • Vadra has criticized the summons as part of a 'political vendetta' by the BJP, alleging it aims to stifle his potential entry into politics and distract from larger national issues.
  • He emphasized his willingness to cooperate, noting that he has been summoned multiple times over the years and has submitted extensive documentation to the authorities.
  • The case is part of ongoing political and legal scrutiny involving high-profile figures, with Vadra maintaining that the allegations lack substance and hoping for a resolution.
