Chandigarh: Bharatiya Janata Party government in Haryana has formed a high level panel to probe land deals approved by the previous Bhupinder Singh Hooda government, including the controversial involvement of Robert Vadra.
Earlier, the CAG had alleged that Vadra's firm was one of the nine companies in the area which had not submitted documents on financial adequacy.
BJP had made land deals under the previous Congress regime in Haryana a major poll issue during the 2014's election alleging that land rules were relaxed to favour a few including Vadra, the son-in-law of Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
The state government appointed a retired Judge of Delhi High Court, Justice SN Dhingra, as one-man Commission of Inquiry to probe issues concerning the grant of license(s) for developing commercial colonies by the Department of Town and Country Planning, Haryana, to some entities in Sector 83, Gurgaon.
The Commission headed by Justice Dhingra would also probe subsequent transfer or disposal of the lands, allegations of private enrichment, ineligibility of beneficiaries under the rules, and other connected matters, bringing Vadra land deal under the scanner.
"The Commission will submit its report to the government as soon as possible but not later than six months from the date of its first sitting," an official spokesman said.
