A charge sheet was filed against the Congress leaders for being directly involved in the process related to the purchase, possession and plot in Panchkula, Haryana. Investigation revealed that the plot was allotted to AJL in 1982. The Estate Officer withdrew on 30 October 1992 as AJL did not fulfill the offer letter conditions.
