The Enforcement Directorate has included the names of Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi and her husband Robert Vadra in the charge sheet filed against NRI businessman CP Thampi and British national Sumit Chadha as part of the money laundering case.
Priyanka Gandhi’s name has been mentioned in an ED chargesheet related to a money laundering case. The name of Robert Vadra was earlier mentioned in the chargesheet.
Robert Vadra bought 40 acres of land in Aminpur, Faridabad in the year 2006 through real estate agent HL Pahwa and sold it back to him in the year 2010. Also, he bought a house in the same village in the same year and sold it to Pahwake in the year 2010. The Enforcement Directorate is alleging that there were financial irregularities in the sale of these lands and that the necessary funds were diverted through Sumit Chadha. It is in this context that Priyanka Gandhi and Robert Vadra have been included in the charge sheet.
According to the probe agency, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi was involved in purchasing the land from Pahwa, the agent with whom Priyanka’s husband Robert Vadra also purchased 3 pieces of land, measuring 334 kanals (40.08 acres), between 2005-2006, and sold the same land to him in December 2010.
