The Robert Vadra land deal explainer

CNN-IBN has accessed documents that reveal that Congress President Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra bought land from Omkareshwar properties using a 'fictitious' cheque. Documents accessed by CNN-IBN show IAS officer Ashok Khemka claimed in his response to a Haryana government inquiry report that Vadra, through his firm Skylight Hospitality, bought 3.5 acres land from Omkareshwar properties in February 2008 and in its filings with the government stated that money had been paid in full for the transaction.

The documents also reveal that Skylight Hospitality did not have money to pay for the land in its accounts. Khemka in his report had said that the money was paid after receiving an advance from DLF, but that too through another one of Vadra's companies.
