Action will be taken on Dhingra Commission’s findings: Khattar

Chandigarh, April 28 : Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has promised to take action after Justice SN Dhingra Commission found irregularities in granting land licences to a firm owned by Robert Vadra, son-in-law of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi.
Khattar, who responded to media reports that Vadra had been indicted by the commission for making unlawful profits from a land deal in 2008, denied Congress party’s allegations that the report was deliberately leaked.
Khattar said the court had not given permission to make the commission’s report public. It was his government that set up the commission after it won assembly elections and took over the state in October 2014.
It was asked to investigate irregularities in the previous state government’s procedure to grant licences for development of colonies, housing societies and commercial complexes in four Guragon villages.Vadra’s Skylight Hospitality is among being investigated.
“Once the report is made public and something comes out, it will be a matter of investigation,” the chief minister said.
A daily published a news report with details of the commission’s findings on Friday. Citing people familiar with the commission’s findings, the report said Robert Vadra made an “illegal profit” of over Rs 50 crore from a 2008 land deal without investing a penny and cited the sources as saying that  “there was collusion aimed at benefiting Vadra’s company”.The report said the committee had probed transactions between Onkareshwar Properties and Vadra-owned Skylight Hospitality and subsequently between Skylight and developer DLF.The Dhingra commission investigated over 20 properties said to have been purchased by Vadra and his companies, said the paper.
