Rahul Gandhi defended his brother-in-law, Robert Vadra, after federal investigators filed criminal charges against the businessman. The Congress leader accused the ruling party of conducting a decade-long persecution campaign against Vadra through social media posts. Gandhi promised to support Vadra and his family while asserting that truth would ultimately emerge victorious. The Enforcement Directorate targeted Vadra with money laundering allegations connected to property transactions in Haryana state. Federal prosecutors named eleven defendants in the case filed at Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court.
Investigators claim Vadra's company purchased land in Shikohpur village through fraudulent methods in February 2008. The businessman allegedly bought 3.53 acres for 7.5 crore rupees from Onkareshwar Properties using false documentation. Authorities completed the property transfer process within one day despite typical delays lasting several months. Vadra later obtained development permits and sold the same land to DLF corporation for 58 crore rupees. The transactions occurred while Congress party members governed Haryana under Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda.
