Robert Vadra used fake documents to acquire land, claims IAS officer Ashok ... - NDTV

GurgaonSenior Haryana IAS officer Ashok Khemka has told the state government that entrepreneur Robert Vadra falsified documents and executed a series of sham transactions for the sale of a 3.5 acre land to real estate giant DLF for Rs 58 crore.

Mr Khemka was the top man in the Haryana's Land Records department till last year. In October, Mr Khemka cancelled Mr Vadra's deal with DLF. His 100-page report, submitted to the state government in May, says Mr Vadra used false registration documents for the 3.5 acre land in Shikohpur village of Gurgaon.

Mr Khemka, a 1991-batch IAS officer was controversially transferred out of the Consolidation of Land Holdings and Land Records-cum-Inspector General of Registration department shortly after he initiated a probe into land dealings between Mr Vadra and DLF. His transfer came three days after he ordered an inquiry to determine if Mr Vadra, who owned property in different parts of the state, had been sold land at large discounts.

Mr Vadra is the son-in-law of Congress President Sonia Gandhi, and is alleged to have received sweetheart deals from the Haryana government, which has been in power in the state since 2004. A government committee in March however concluded Mr Vadra's deal with DLF was fair and legal. In reply to the conclusions drawn by the committee, Mr Khemka's report says that the Haryana government had shown undue haste in commercial colony license to Mr Vadra.

Mr Khemka had alleged that unauthorised officials had signed off on the mutation of the land from Mr Vadra to DLF; he also raised questions about why the government appeared to have bent the rules for Mr Vadra, processing his Change of land use documents at lightning speed and licensing him to build a commercial housing project on his plot of 3.5 acres. That licence, granted just a month after Mr Vadra bought the land for Rs 7 crore, added such dramatic value that just three months later, DLF paid 58 crores for the plot.
