New Delhi: An FIR has been registered against Robert Vadra, the brother-in-law of Congress President Rahul Gandhi, and former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda in a 2008 land deal in Gurgaon.
The First Information Report has been registered in Kherki Daula police station of Haryana and alleges that Vadra's company Sky Light Hospitality purchased land in Gurgaon's Sector 83, Shikhopur, Sikandarpur, Khedki Daula and Sihi for Rs 7.5 crore and then sold them back for Rs 55 crore after a change in its classification.
The FIR has been filed on the complaint of Surendra Sharma, a resident of Mewat.
Vadra, however, denied the charges, saying it was attempt to "divert" attention.
"It's election season... there is an increase in oil prices... so let's divert the real issues of people," Vadra said.
