Robert Vadra was on Friday given a clean chit by the Congress government in Haryana in a probe that said there was no “undervaluation” or loss of revenue to the government in the controversial land deals involving him in the State.
“The Deputy Commissioners of Gurgaon, Faridabad, Palwal and Mewat have inspected all the documents registered in their districts from January 1, 2005, till date by or on behalf of Mr. Vadra or his companies in the capacity of either vendor or vendee and have certified that no deed has been found registered as undervalued,” an official release said.
The release detailed the lands registered by the son-in-law of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and/or his companies and said the “stamp duty paid has also been found to be much higher than the rate duly notified by the Collector. Therefore, no loss of revenue to the State has been caused by these sale deeds.”
The probe was ordered by whistle-blower IAS officer Ashok Khemka amid a huge row over his deals with realty major DLF.
ctivist Arvind Kejriwal, who had demanded the probe into the Vadra-DLF dealings, and the Opposition BJP were quick to slam the Haryana government.
Congress spokesman Rashid Alvi, however, defended the report and asserted that the clean chit was no “eyewash.”
“That was expected. The country would be surprised if it was otherwise,” Mr. Kejriwal said.
Mr. Khemka said if a report pointed out that there was no undervaluation then it would increase the faith of the people in the government’s functioning.

Why Can't our politicians follow the foot steps of MG Gandhi?Why did Gandhi not have anything other than society?These politicians are after money and we Indians are foolish to send them to the parliament.But,this Anna movement-turned-Kejriwal movement will create some sort of sense among the Indians.It's a middle class movement and will bring a great change in our political system.All the revolutions in history were led by this middle-class people.Ruling class has become arrogant and devoid of merits,unable to control the logical blows of highly educated-but-humiliated middle class people like Kejriwal.Any revolution in the world history brought about change in the political systems after prolonged battles but, this movement will bring results relatively faster due to faster communication.High Time for the Indian politicians to amend their behaviour as fast as possible otherwise they are destined to be doomed.
It definitely pays to be the son in law of the woman who rules India!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Only fools will expect it to be otherwise. What a shame on the First family, which talks about propriety and probity in public life, shields son -in-law and rubs shoulders with allegedly corrupt VBS in an election campaign shouting at corruption of opposition.
Should we remember the names Krishan Mohan and Ashok Yadav from the Haryana bureaucracy as rather suspect to say the least?
We expect innocuous reports from the investigating agencies against bigwigs.
One week is not good enough to have any government document ( be it ration card or anything else), I wonder how the inquiry was so quick....
It was expected & preplanned. It is amazing to see how fast Haryana
Govt. officials investigated the case & gave clean chit to Robber.. Then
why 2Gscam,coalgate investigation is pending ?
This is the tragedy of Great India.
Why the state govt. says that the dealing is between to individuals, what is the necessity for it
to give a clean cheat?
Seeing Vadra case I feel its pathetic that all systems are getting rusted. People have made mockery of the system. Slowly and slowly our country is going to a dangerous zone. I feel enough damage has been given by this family to our nation.
Average rates of land in villages in govt. records are found very less compare to original price at which dealings happen. This goes on to save the stamp duties by common people, but those people are not able to get much benefit, most benefited people here are those with much bigger dealings and with political connections . To close such windows for scamsters people should start to register their dealings with original prices, otherwise we will be getting same results from such inquires.
These reports are to be taken with enormous quantity of salt!! We have
seen Mr.Manmohansingh giving clean chit to A.RAJA and other ministers.
These reports go to highlight Neta-Babus nexus!! Nevertheless the
reports are absolutely on expected lines!!
