The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a chargesheet against businessman Robert Vadra and 11 others in a Gurugram land deal case. This marks the first time any probe agency has filed a prosecution complaint against the 56-year-old Vadra in a criminal case. The chargesheet, filed in Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court, alleges a fraudulent transaction involving ₹58 crore. The court is scheduled to take up the matter on Friday.

The case revolves around the alleged illegal purchase of 3.53 acres of land in Shikohpur village, Gurugram Sector 83. According to investigators, Vadra allegedly used false documents to acquire the land from Omkareshwar Properties in February 2008. It is further alleged that he then used his personal influence to obtain a commercial license for the land. The ED claims these illicit activities generated ₹58 crore, which was subsequently laundered into multiple assets.

In response to the charges, Vadra's office released a statement denouncing the proceedings as "nothing more than an extension of the political witchhunt by the present government". Vadra has consistently denied any wrongdoing and has stated his intention to cooperate and defend himself in court. He has previously characterized the case as "political vendetta" against him and his family.

Besides Vadra, the chargesheet names his company, Sky Light Hospitality Pvt Ltd, Omkareshwar Properties Pvt Ltd, and their heads Satyanand Yaji and Kewal Singh Virak, among others. The ED had previously attached 43 immovable properties worth approximately ₹37.64 crore belonging to Vadra, Sky Light Hospitality, and others. This attachment was made under a Provisional Attachment Order issued on July 16, 2025.

The ED is currently investigating Vadra in two other cases, including one against U.K.-based arms consultant Sanjay Bhandari and a land deal in Rajasthan's Bikaner. The agency claims that the ₹58 crore generated from the Gurugram land deal was laundered and invested in the purchase of properties in London.

This chargesheet marks a significant development in the ongoing investigation into Robert Vadra's financial dealings. It remains to be seen how the case will proceed in court and what impact it will have on Vadra and the other individuals and entities named in the chargesheet.
