Dummy firms figure in Vadra land deal case in Rajasthan
“The land in 34 villages of Bikaner was supposed to be used for expanding the Army's firing range in the area,†sources said.
New Delhi: A day after issuing notice to Skylight Hospitality, the firm allegedly linked to Mr Robert Vadra, son-in-law of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, in connection with a land scam in Rajasthan, sources in the ED on Wednesday said its investigation has revealed that allotments were made in the names of dummy firms and certain private persons.
“The land in 34 villages of Bikaner was supposed to be used for expanding the Army's firing range in the area,” sources said.
Meanwhile, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday confirmed receiving the ED notice to the firm allegedly linked to her husband. She, however, made a jibe at critics for creating unwarranted hype and said the over-enthusiastic media broke the news “yesterday” while the copy has been received “today”.
