Robert Vadra breaks silence on ED chargesheet in Shikohpur land deal case: ‘Looking forward for opportunity to defend..’

"Robert Vadra is aware of reports suggesting that the Directorate of Enforcement has filed a Prosecution Complaint naming him as an Accused before the Rouse Avenue Courts, Delhi. As the Court is yet to even take cognizance of the matter, Mr. Vadra has not had the opportunity to examine the Prosecution Complaint," ANI quoted the office of businessman Robert Vadra as saying.

"As a law-abiding Indian citizen, Mr. Vadra has always and will continue to extend his fullest cooperation to the authorities and he is confident that at the end of it all, the truth will prevail and he will be cleared of any wrongdoing. The present proceedings are nothing more than an extension of the political witch hunt by the present government against Mr. Vadra. Mr. Vadra is looking forward to the opportunity to defend himself and clear his name in Court," his office said.

Earlier on Thursday, the ED filed a charge sheet against Robert Vadra in a money laundering case linked to alleged irregularities in a land deal in Haryana's Shikohpur.
