Enforcement Directorate registers money laundering case against firm allegedly linked to Robert Vadra

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has registered a money laundering case arising out of a land grab case at Bikaner in Rajasthan involving a firm allegedly linked to Robert Vadra, son-in-law of Congress President Sonia Gandhi.
According to ED, a criminal case has been registered under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, which will soon issue summons and question the accused, including some unknown private entities, involved in it.
According to reports, ED has taken cognizance of the earlier media reports that had referred to a firm linked to Vadra, which had purchased some of these lands.
The agency did not take the name of Vadra or any company linked to him in the FIR, but it has named some state government officials and some of the land mafias.
Congress General Secretary and spokesperson Shakeel Ahmed called it sheer political vendetta.
Rajasthan Government in January this year cancelled the mutation or transfer of land of 374.44 hectares after the land department claimed to have found that the allotments were made in the names of illegal private persons.
