CBI engaged in an investigation: This is the whole matter.
In 2012, SLPML, the company of Robert Vadra and his mother Maureen Vadra, had bought 275 bighas of land in the Kolayat area of Bikaner through a broker Mahesh Nagar for 79 lakhs.
The company had first bought 150 and then 125 bighas of land. This land was allotted for the Mahajan Field Firing Range.
For the people displaced from this land, 1400 bighas of land were allotted at second place. The land was allotted in the name of the displaced in a fake manner.
Here the people in whose name the land was allotted were not actually there.
The land brokers, in connivance with the local Tehsildar, Naib Tehsildar, Patwari, and other government employees, got it allotted in the name of their own family members in the year 2006-7.
Vadra’s company bought land from these people and then after some time sold it to other people for Rs 10 crore.
This case was revealed in the year 2010. But due to its association with Vadra, the then Ashok Gehlot government had put it in cold storage.
The police registered the case in the year 2014.
The then Vasundhara Raje government had handed over the investigation of this case to the CBI. The Enforcement Directorate had also registered a case of money laundering.
The matter is also pending in the High Court. Representatives of Vadra’s company say that they had bought the land through a broker.
They were not aware that allotment of land was done in a fake manner. This case is going on in court for the last 7 years. CBI is also engaged in the investigation at its level.
