Briefly, the facts are as follows: Ashok Khemka, director-general, land consolidation and land records, as well as inspector-general, registration, in Haryana until October 2012, was examining the nexus between Haryana administration officials, DLF and Vadra when the IAC came out with its expose. After it broke, Khemka ordered a formal inquiry into Sky Light Hospitality, a company owned by Robert Vadra and his mother Maureen. However, he was suddenly transferred, which move he challenged. But following the outcry it raised, the Haryana government set up a three-member inquiry committee to probe Vadra’s land deals, which gave him a clean chit. However, in a voluminous response to the inquiry committee formally challenging his transfer on legal grounds, Khemka also raised the issue of Vadra’s legal liability for ‘sham’ land transactions in Gurgaon. This response, running into 105 pages plus voluminous annexures and finalised late last month, maintains Vadra was handed over land at throwaway prices because he was able to secure commercial development licences for agricultural land. He then made windfall gains by reselling a plot to DLF.
