Vadra land deal: Hooda fails to appear before Justice Dhingra commission

Gurgaon (Haryana) : Former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda today failed to appear before the Justice S N Dhingra commission which is probing his role in the Robert Vadra’s land deal case.

The commission had last week (March 17) summoned Hooda to record his statements regarding the allotment of land to the Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra promoted Skylight Hospitality company.

Hooda had on March 17 claimed that nothing wrong was done during his tenure as the chief minister of Haryana, adding that allegations against him were politically motivated.

The Justice Dhingra Commission was setup in 2015 to probe the grant of commercial license of land to hundreds of private companies, including Skylight Hospitality and DLF.

Last month, the commission had reportedly summoned Haryana Chief Secretary Deepinder Singh Dhesi and officials of several private firms for recording of statements. (ANI)
