Overview

  • Robert Vadra appeared for the third consecutive day of questioning by the Enforcement Directorate under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
  • Investigators allege Vadra's firms had insufficient funds when purchasing the ₹7.5 crore Gurugram land in 2008, with only ₹1 lakh in their accounts.
  • The cheque listed in the sale deed was issued by another Vadra group company and was never cashed, raising questions about the transaction's legitimacy.
  • The Haryana government, led by then-CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda, approved a commercial development license within four days without assessing financial capacity.
  • Vadra has denied wrongdoing, calling the investigation politically motivated due to his connection to the Gandhi family.
