Kejriwal,IAC accuses,
“…Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra of large-scale corruption in real estate dealings. In a highly speculated press conference, the IAC members alleged that real estate giant DLF had sold him prime land at throw-away prices and given him interest-free loans. They said, property worth over Rs 300 crores was sold to Vadra for just Rs 50 lakh.Speculation was rife among political observers in the national capital about activist Arvind Kejriwal‘s announcement to ‘expose’ the corruption of a “powerful political leader” on Friday. Kejriwal had said on October 2 2012 that his group would reveal sensational information against two political leaders on Saturday. However, the IAC changed its plans and held its press conference on Friday.
“Why did DLF give Rs. 65 crore loan to Vadra without any interest? He bought DLF properties with that money at discounted rates
. What benefit did Vadra provide to the Congress party for this?. He bought Rs. 65 crore property for Rs. 5 crore. So how did DLF benefit?
There are many questions. There are four penthouses in one DLF property in Gurgaon. he brought these through a maze of five companies.
We have details of 12 companies registered in the past few years- six registered in 2012 alone. A penthouse sold in 2009 for Rs.89 lakh- who
se market value was Rs.25 crore then, and is now at least Rs. 40 crore,” Prashant Bhushan alleged.
“Prima facie,” he added, were charges under Prevention of Corruption Act and Income Tax Act.”
DLF Replies..
”
DLF refuted allegations that it has lent any money to Robert Vadra as well that it has sold to him properties at lower than market rates. In a detailed reply, DLF established that the loan was Business Advance which was given, as per practice of trade, to make payments for land purchased from Robert Vadra. Till the time, the documents were transferred in the name of DLF the money paid was treated as Advance. The treatment is in line with Accounting Standard-10 for Fixed Assets issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India which says that any asset can be recorded in books only when all the risks and rewards of the asset are transferred in the name of the company. ..
The press release stated that as against allegations by Arvind Kejriwal, the properties sold to Robert Vadra were not lower transferred at lower than market price but at times were transferred at quite high rates. It also clarified that the allegations of Quid, pro, Quo are wrong as the property which was allotted to it by Haryana Govt. is not one on which residential apartments have been built but is one on which an amusement park shall be coming up. On the other hand, Arvind Kejriwal & Prashant Bhusan had alleged that the property allocated to DLF was the one on which residential apartments have been built up though the property was acquired by Haryana Govt. for Public Interest. DLF also clarified that the property was allocated to it for development of an amusement park only after it has paid the highest sum for it as part of an international bidding process.‘
