Scribes zero in on flat but find it empty
At the core of the interrogation of Robert Vadra are his alleged overseas assets. These include nine Londonbased properties, three of these villas, the rest luxury flats -- all allegedly purchased by Vadra between 2005 and 2010.
India Today TV reached the Bryanston Square in London to inquire about Vadra’s alleged flat and what it means to own a flat in that area. It was found that the 12 Ellerton House, which the ED claims is that of Vadra, is owned by a family, but is lying vacant. A flat in this area, which cost Rs 10 crore in 2001, may now cost anywhere between Rs 23-25 crore.
If one wants to rent a flat in the area, it may cost approximately Rs 1 lakh a week. The area of the flats varies from about 1,000 sq feet to 1,200 sq feet. The flat is located in a very posh, expensive and sought-after locality, the India Today.com reports. Also under the scanner is Vadra’s alleged link to absconding arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari.
