Haryana government forms panel to probe Robert Vadra land deals

Retired Judge of Delhi HC, Justice S N Dhingra to probe the matter

Chandigarh: The Haryana government on Thursday formed a commission to probe grant of license(s) to some entities, including Robert Vadra’s company, for developing commercial colonies in Sector 83 of Gurgaon.

Earlier, the CAG had alleged that Mr Vadra’s firm was one of the nine companies in the area which had not submitted documents on financial adequacy.

BJP had made land deals under the previous Congress regime in Haryana a major poll issue during the election alleging that land rules were relaxed to favour a few including Mr Vadra, the son-in-law of Congress president Sonia Gandhi.

The state appointed a retired Judge of Delhi HC, Justice S.N. Dhingra, as one-man Commission of Inquiry. The Commission would also probe subsequent transfer or disposal of the lands, allegations of private enrichment, ineligibility of beneficiaries under the rules among others.
