'Received it today,' says Priyanka on ED notice to husband over land deal

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday took a dig at the Enforcement Directorate for giving out news regarding her husband Robert Vadra’s alleged money laundering and connection involving a land deal in Bikaner district, Rajasthan.

“Apparently, we have received it at 4 o’clock today but you received it before us,” Priyanka told reporters in Delhi.

A notice has been issued to the firm M/s Skylight Hospitality under Prevention of Money Laundering Act seeking certain financial statements and other documents, official sources said.

The company has been asked to submit certain financial statements and other documents to the investigating officer of the case, the sources said.

The ED had conducted extensive searches in this case in Rajasthan and other places last month and had claimed to have seized a number of documents.

The probe is related to the purchase of 275 bigha land allegedly by the company in the Kolayat area of the border town of Bikaner.

The central probe agency had registered a criminal case of money laundering in this case last year on the basis of FIRs filed by the state police after the local tehsildar had made a complaint.
