The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on January 29 recorded the statement of former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda in connection with the Manesar land scam case.
The ED investigation was based on a First Information Report (FIR) registered by the Gurugram police, which was later re-registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in 2015.
It was alleged that in conspiracy with some Haryana Government officials, private builders had acquired about 400 acres of land at throwaway rates, which caused a loss of about ₹1,500 crore to the previous owners in Manesar, Naurangpur and Lakhnoula villages.
