The Enforcement Directorate plans to serve fresh summons on Skylight Hospitality LLP, earlier a private limited company allegedly linked to Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra, in connection with the ongoing money laundering and land-grab cases in Bikaner.
Earlier this month, the Directorate had issued summons to Skylight Hospitality Limited asking the company to submit the documents related to the sale-purchase of the land in question.
However, according to agency sources, all the required documents have not been submitted yet.
The agency later learnt that on May 13, the private limited company had been converted into a limited liability partnership (LLP) firm.
However, the address remained the same. The ED, therefore, decided to issue fresh summons to the new entity.
Skylight Hospitality had bought 69.55 hectares of land in in Bikaner in January 2010.
The Rajasthan police have registered 18 land-grab cases. In October 2014, based on the findings, the Rajasthan government issued orders for cancellation of the original allotments of the land involved. The ED has also launched money laundering investigations and recently conducted searches in the State.
The company has, in its statement to the media, said it had instituted civil suits for recovery and damages, adding: “Skylight Hospitality Private Limited or Robert Vadra are victims of the original wrongful allotments, fraud and consequent sale of said land to them in Kolayat.”
