13 Aug 2013 5:05 AM IST
The Haryana Government on Sunday denied allegations against its Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) in Robert Vadra-DLF land deal in the light of claims by whistleblower IAS officer Ashok Khemka.
‘These allegations are wrong and misleading, aimed at sensationalisation of an issue which is non-existent,’ a Haryana government release said, quoting a DTCP spokesman.
Khemka has alleged that Vadra ‘falsified documents’ for 3.53 acre of land in Gurgaon and ‘pocketed’ large premium on a commercial colony license.
In his ‘voluminous reply’ submitted to Haryana government’s three-member enquiry committee set up in October last to look into Vadra-DLF deal, Khemka is understood to have alleged that Vadra, who is Congress President Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law, executed a series of ‘sham transactions’ for 3.53 acre of land in Shikohpur village of Gurgaon.
The IAS officer alleged that DTCP ‘ignored rules and regulations to allow crony capitalists operating as middlemen to flourish and appropriate market premium of a license.’
‘The DTCP aided Vadra in making these sham transactions,’ he alleged.
