Businessman Robert Vadra has been issued a second summons by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with an ongoing money-laundering probe related to the controversial Shikhopur land deal in Haryana. Vadra, who failed to respond to the earlier notice sent on April 8, has now been directed to appear before the central agency for questioning.

At the heart of the investigation is a 3.5-acre plot in Shikhopur village, Gurgaon, which was purchased in 2008 by Vadra’s firm, Skylight Hospitality, from Omkareshwar Properties for ₹7.5 crore. The same land was later sold to real estate giant DLF for a staggering ₹58 crore — a nearly eightfold return in a short span of time.The case, which has long attracted political attention, is once again under the spotlight as investigators aim to determine whether the windfall was facilitated through undue favours or violations of regulatory norms.
