If reports are anything to go by, Congress Chief Sonia Gandhi's son in law, Robert Vadra could be in trouble for his land deals in Haryana. The Justice S.N. Dhingra-led commission, which is probing the grant of licences for change in land use (CLU) in four villages of Gurgaon, including the licence granted to a company (Sky Light Hospitality Private Limited) owned by Robert Vadra, today submitted its report to the Haryana Government. "I have brought the irregularities to light and people behind it," Justice SN Dhingra said without naming Robert Vadra or then Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda. "If there were no irregularities in land allotment, I would have submitted a one-sentence, not an 182-page report," Dhingra told reporters after submitting his report to the Haryana government.

Sources said Justice SN Dhingra's report finds that Mr Hooda acted "contrary to the law" and distributed land licences in "an ad hoc manner." Mr Hooda has called it a "political witch hunt," and has demanded a CBI inquiry. Justice Dhingra, who retired from the Delhi High Court, was assigned last year to investigate 250 licenses or allocations of plots by Mr Hooda, who lost the state election in 2014 to the BJP. Ashok Khemka, an IAS officer, repeatedly raised concerns over the land deal. He also set aside the mutation of the property sold by Vadra to DLF. Mutation is very important as it changes the title ownership of property from one entity to another. The report of the commission was earlier scheduled to be submitted in June. However, at the last minute, Justice Dhingra decided to hold back his report. He reasoned that he had received certain important documents that indicated some benami transactions.
