Sons-in-law are not above the law


Saswat Panigrahi

Senior Supreme Court advocate and India Against Corruption leader Prashant Bhushan have levelled serious allegations of financial malfeasance against the Gandhi dynasty son-in-law Robert Vadra.

In a press conference in the national capital, Bhushan claimed that five companies set up by Vadra and his mother had a total capital share of just Rs 50 lakh in 2007. But, the Vadra-owned companies acquired properties worth well over Rs 300 crore during 2007-2010, whose market value is more than Rs 500 crore, he claimed.

The seed money for the acquisition came from “unsecured interest-free loans” of Rs 65 crore by realty giant DLF in exchange for “favours” received from Congress-led governments in Haryana, Rajasthan and Delhi, the anti-corruption activist alleged.
