Rajasthan govt cancels mutation of land purchased by Vadra's firm
Jaipur, Jan 4 (IBNS): The Rajasthan government has cancelled the mutation of a part of land purchased by Congress President Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra's company Skylight Hospitality Private Limited in Bikaner district, officials said on Sunday.
The move came on the grounds that it was bought from fake buyers.
BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said that his party will not spare any wrongdoing.
"Mutation of Land purchased by Vadra firm cancelled by Rajasthan Govt ..didn't we say No Wrongdoing would be Spared ..have Faith & Patience!!, " he tweeted.
On Jan 1, Robert Vadra's Skylight hospitality firm was also served a tax notice.
The Income-Tax department had asked Vadra to explain all his controversial land deals and financial transactions.
Earlier, Vadra was accused of taking a huge interest-free loan and heavy bargains on land from DLF Limited in exchange for political favors.
Vadra had landed himself in controversy after senior government official Ashok Khemka accused him of having falsified documents for a land deal.
Khemka has reportedly told the Haryana government that Vadra falsified documents for 3.53 acres of land at Shikohpur village in Haryana's Gurgaon district.
Vadra used false registration documents to execute a series of sham transactions for the sale of the land in Gurgaon to real estate giant DLF for Rs 58 crores, Khema had claimed.
Khemka also apparently claimed that as per his calculations, through his irregularities and favours earned from the Haryana government, Vadra might have pocketed a whopping Rs 3.5 lakh crores.
