They cannot prove anything: Robert Vadra on land deal probe

June 30, 2016 08:47

A day after retired Delhi high court chief justice S N Dhingra completed his probe into land deals in Gurgaon, including the one between realty major DLF and Robert Vadra, Congress president Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law took to Facebook to air his thoughts.

He posted: 'Almost a decade of governments false and baseless accusations on me! They cannot prove anything without proof n there is nothing there to prove ... I will always be used for political gains, I know ... But I will walk with my head held high as in time and with the truth, which will conquer incorrect perceptions, created! about me.'

The Dhingra commission was set up in May last year by the Haryana government to probe the grant of licences to various real estate companies in Gurgaon when the Bhupinder Singh Hooda-led Congress government was in power.

The one-man commission did not summon Vadra, whose company M/s Sky Light Hospitality is among those granted colony licences in Gurgaon. It did, however, summon former chief minister Hooda, but he did not appear before it on two dates.

The commission summoned 26 government officers, including Hooda, as witnesses and examined at least 250 files pertaining to approval, grant or rejection of colony licences to various builders, and change of land use and development plans.
