The ED has attached 43 properties, valued at ₹37.64 crore, belonging to Robert Vadra and his company in connection with this money‑laundering case.

The case originally began in 2008. A land transaction took place in Shikohpur, Gurugram.

Sky Light Hospitality purchased about 3.5 acres of land for just ₹7.5 crore.

Vadra was a director in this company. The land was acquired from Omkareshwar Properties, and the ownership was transferred into the name of Vadra’s company within 24 hours.
