New Delhi, Jun 23 (DC) : Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday took a dig at Enforcement Directorate for giving out the news of sending a notice to a firm linked to her husband Robert Vadra in connection with its probe into alleged money laundering in a land deal in Rajasthan's Bikaner district.
"Apparently, we have received it at 4 o'clock today but you received it before us," Priyanka told reporters in Delhi, implying that the news had been leaked by the government.
A notice has been issued to the firm M/s Skylight Hospitality under Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) seeking certain financial statements and other documents, official sources said.
The Congress and the Gandhis have described the investigations against Robert Vadra as a political witch-hunt.
In Rajasthan, his firm allegedly bought about 70 acres (275 bighas) of land in Bikaner in 2010, when the Congress was in power in the state. BJP claims the land was first grabbed by local mafia and then sold with "forged and fabricated documents" in connivance with then government officials.
The Enforcement Directorate had conducted extensive searches in this case in Rajasthan and other places last month.
The Enforcement Directorate suspects that huge amounts of money was laundered in this case by people buying land at cheap rates through forged documents.
The land was bought from farmers who were told it was meant for constructing a firing range for the army. It was sold three years later at a substantial profit.
Vadra’s company has been asked to submit certain financial statements and other documents to the Investigating Officer (IO) of the case.

Thu, Jun 23 2016Her new huge Bunglow in Shimla will be occupied very soon after permanent retirement from politics. Enough is enough fake gandhi family politics. Educated people are aware of their misdeeds which are popping out every now and then. But some slaves of these families are still defending them.

Thu, Jun 23 2016The only reason Modi Govt is leaking such reports to media, is they have some paid journalists, they can then proclaim them guilty with week long debate.
The hopeless and incompetent BJP govt can not get one conviction against even after filing thousands of FIRs against them.
Earlier people thought okay with congress in power must be subverting the judicial process. But, today after two years in power that too with majority, BJP proved nothing.
It is now more than evident to any person, BJP is nothing but bunch of liars, who rely on some call centre boyz, paid journalists and a few saadu sants to create an image for itself.

Thu, Jun 23 2016Tony I beg to differ, The Gandhis themselves are digging the graves of Cong. There is no need of anyone slandering, just watch 'Rahul Gandhi with Jackie Shroff' video on youtube and you will realize. Priyanka who appears for 3 days once in every 5 years in a handloom saree for sure is not goin to bring around a revival. Esp when the public is fully aware of what this 'daynasty' is.
