robert vadra According to Kaushiki Saha’s report, he and eight other accused were directed to appear on May 16 in a money laundering case related to Gurgaon’s Shikohpur land deal.The ED’s prosecution complaint (equivalent to a chargesheet), filed in July 2025, portrayed the deal as a sophisticated scheme to generate and launder the proceeds of crime, with Vadra as the main beneficiary. Vadra has denied any wrongdoing, calling the case a “political vendetta” against him and his family, including his wife, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, former Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi.Apart from Vadra, summons were issued to Kewal Singh Virk, Skylight Hospitality LLP, Sky Light Realty Pvt Ltd, Real Earth Estates LLP, Blue Breeze Trading LLP, North India IT Parks LLP, Lambodar Art Enterprises India LLP and SGY Properties Pvt Ltd (earlier Omkareshwar Properties Pvt Ltd). However, the court did not summon another accused, Satyanand Yaji, saying there was no material to proceed against him.The case pertains to a February 2008 transaction in which Skylight Hospitality, where Vadra was previously a director, purchased 3.5 acres of land in Shikohpur for Rs 7.5 crore. The company sold this land to DLF in September 2012 for Rs 58 crore.Additional Sessions Judge Sushant Changotra, examining the ED’s prosecution complaint, underlined the “very narrow” scope of investigation at this stage, saying the court only needed to comprehensively examine the documents and satisfy itself that prima facie, there were “sufficient grounds to proceed further in the case”.The court said that Vadra, as a “major shareholder and primary director/partner”, had allegedly played an active role in the offenses under sections 3 and 4 of the PMLA.
