New Delhi : Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s brother-in-law, Robert Vadra, and his mother Maureen appeared before the Enforcement Directorate  at its zonal office  in  Jaipur in connection with a land scam  probe. AICC general secretary and his wife Priyanka Gandhi accompanied them to the office.

In 2015, the ED had registered a criminal case in connection with a land deal in Bikaner, taking cognizance of a clutch of FIRs and charge sheets filed by Rajasthan police ,after the tehsildar of Bikaner complained about alleged forgery in the allotment of land in the area, considered sensitive due to its proximity to the India-Pakistan border.

This is Vadra’s fourth appearance before the agency and first in Jaipur. On the last three occasions, he appeared before ED in Delhi in connection with a money laundering probe against him for his alleged role in procuring assets abroad.
